  <background>
    <p>Bash is the standard GNU Bourne Again SHell. </p>

  <description>
    <p>Two vulnerabilities have been found in Bash:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>Bash example scripts do not handle temporary files securely
        (CVE-2008-5374).
      </li>
      <li>Improper bounds checking in Bash could cause a stack-based buffer
        overflow (CVE-2012-3410).
      </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Bash
      script, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition of the Bash
      executable. 
    </p>
    
    <p>A local attacker may be able to perform symlink attacks to overwrite
      arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application
      or bypass shell access restrictions.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Bash users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-shells/bash-4.2_p37"
    </code>
