All 6 CVE's of bash "shellshock" vulnerabilities now seem to have been addressed

Pl. refer to Redhat article - link

Diagnostic Steps

Red Hat Access Labs has provided a script to help confirm if a system is patched against to the Shellshock vulnerability. You can also manually test your version of Bash by running the following command:

$ env 'x=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' 'BASH_FUNC_x()=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo test"

If the output of the above command contains a line containing only the word vulnerable you are using a vulnerable version of Bash. The patch used to fix this issue ensures that no code is allowed after the end of a Bash function.

Note that different Bash versions will also print different warnings while executing the above command. The Bash versions without any fix produce the following output:

$ env 'x=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' 'BASH_FUNC_x()=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo test"
vulnerable
bash: BASH_FUNC_x(): line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
bash: BASH_FUNC_x(): line 0: `BASH_FUNC_x() () { :;}; echo vulnerable'
bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_x'
test

The versions with only the original CVE-2014-6271 fix applied produce the following output:

$ env 'x=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' 'BASH_FUNC_x()=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_x()'
test

The versions with additional fixes from RHSA-2014:1306, RHSA-2014:1311 and RHSA-2014:1312 produce the following output:

$ env 'x=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' 'BASH_FUNC_x()=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_x'
test

The difference in the output is caused by additional function processing changes explained in the "How does this impact systems" section below.

The fix for CVE-2014-7169 ensures that the system is protected from the file creation issue. To test if your version of Bash is vulnerable to CVE-2014-7169, run the following command:

$ cd /tmp; rm -f /tmp/echo; env 'x=() { (a)=>\' bash -c "echo date"; cat /tmp/echo
bash: x: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `='
bash: x: line 1: `'
bash: error importing function definition for `x'

If your system is vulnerable, the time and date information will be output on the screen and a file called /tmp/echo will be created.

If your system is not vulnerable, you will see output similar to:

$ cd /tmp; rm -f /tmp/echo; env 'x=() { (a)=>\' bash -c "echo date"; cat /tmp/echo
date
cat: /tmp/echo: No such file or directory

If your system is vulnerable, you can fix these issues by updating to the most recent version of the Bash package by running the following command:

# yum update bash
