Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ksh package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
KSH-93 is the most recent version of the KornShell by David Korn of AT&T Bell
Laboratories. KornShell is a shell programming language which is also compatible
with sh, the original Bourne Shell.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When running a script, the previous version of ksh could incorrectly consider
the "eval" command to be the last in the script, and did not run it in a
separate process. Consequent to this, using "eval" or executing commands from
another file (that is, by using the "." built-in command) may have prevented ksh
from executing any subsequent commands. With this update, the underlying source
code has been adapted to determine whether a script contains other commands, and
perform the selected action in a separate process if it does. As a result, ksh
now executes all commands in a script as expected. (BZ#702364)
All users of ksh are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
