Bash: Privilege escalation

Bash: Privilege escalation A vulnerability in Bash may allow users to escalate privileges. bash 2021-05-26 2021-05-26 702488 local 5.0_p11-r1 5.0_p11-r1

Bash is the standard GNU Bourne Again SHell.

It was discovered that Bash incorrectly dropped privileges by setting its effective UID to its real UID.

A local attacker could possibly escalate privileges.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Bash users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-shells/bash-5.0_p11-r1"
