Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2016.0393
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0393)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'bash' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0393 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'bash' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0393 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability was found in a way bash expands the $HOSTNAME. Injecting
the hostname with malicious code would cause it to run each time bash
expanded \h in the prompt string (CVE-2016-0634).

Shells running as root inherited PS4 from the environment, allowing PS4
expansion performing command substitution. Local attacker could gain
arbitrary code execution via bogus setuid binaries using system()/popen()
by specially crafting SHELLOPTS+PS4 environment variables (CVE-2016-7543)

Affected Software/OS:
'bash' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.2
