Comment on 3rd Shellshock Vulnerability Foundparent

Yes, it helps, thanks!

And the post below which shows the contents of the RH patches should help, if I knew how to read it. :)

But... it seems to me that if this doesn't work:

    env ls='() { echo vulnerable; }' bash -c ls
...then some scripts are now broken. Sorry, I don't know which ones. Needless to say, most bash scripts in existence don't take input from the wild wire. A sad day for those innocuous scripts.

mzs had some info about this in a separate comment[1] if you missed it. I've hit the edge of my knowledge about it. :-)
