*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: mksh, pdksh
Hi!
Please merge the latest mksh version from Debian sid (it’s going into
testing → jessie RSN, too, and I plan to backport it as well; I’m the
Debian maintainer as well as upstream).
I’ll attach a debdiff against Debian and one against the last Ubuntu
version.
Thanks!
The new changelog entries are:
mksh (50c-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream security release:
- [tg] Know more rare signals when generating sys_signame[] replacement
- [tg] OpenBSD sync (mostly RCSID only)
- [tg] Document HISTSIZE limit; found by luigi_345 on IRC
- [zacts] Fix link to Debian .mkshrc
- [tg] Cease exporting $RANDOM (Debian #760857)
- [tg] Fix C99 compatibility
- [tg] Work around klibc bug causing a coredump (Debian #763842)
- [tg] Use [197]issetugid(2) as additional check if we are FPRIVILEGED
- [tg] SECURITY: do not permit += from environment
- [tg] Fix more field splitting bugs reported by Stephane Chazelas and
mikeserv; document current status wrt. ambiguous ones as testcases too
* Policy 3.9.6, no changes
* Use klibc on x32 again, to be binNMUable, and since it works good enough
* Update lintian overrides

mksh (50b-1) unstable; urgency=high
* Bring back accidentally lost changelog entry for version 49-2

* New upstream version; remaining change:
- [tg, Jb_boin] Relax overzealous nameref RHS checks
* Update /etc/skel/.mkshrc with example how to force UTF-8
* Fix gitweb URL in README.Debian
