| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 8345 | bash \w option PS1 Environment Variable Overflow A local overflow exists in bash. The rl_redisplay() function fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. The issue is triggered when creating a overly long directory name containing more than 1024 bytes, which is inserted into the password prompt via the '\w' option in the PS1 environmental variable when another user changes into that directory. It is possible for a malicious user to gain elevated privileges resulting in a loss of integrity. |
