Synopsis
tcsh Shift_JIS bug fix update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated tcsh Shift_JIS packages that fix one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The tcsh packages provide an enhanced and widely compatible version of the C
shell (csh). The tcsh command-language interpreter can be used as an interactive
login shell, as well as a shell script command processor. Shift JIS (SJIS) is a
character encoding for the Japanese language. The "tcsh Shift_JIS" packages
provide tcsh support for the SJIS encoding.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Following the previous SJIS enhancement patch for the tcsh packages, the
second byte of a multibyte character was sometimes treated as an individual
character. This in some cases caused incorrect interpretation of scripts
containing SJIS characters. With this update, the behavior of multibyte
characters in tcsh Shift_JIS has been corrected, and the affected scripts now
work as expected. (BZ#1240124)
All users who require SJIS encoding support with tcsh are advised to upgrade to
these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
