fedora
Calendar Grey September 11, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Significant zsh enhancement in Fedora 28 resolves two shebang interpretation concerns, improving both security and operational capabilities.
- fix two security issues in shebang line parsing (CVE-2018-0502 CVE-2018-13259)

Summary

The zsh shell is a command interpreter usable as an interactive login

shell and as a shell script command processor. Zsh resembles the ksh

shell (the Korn shell), but includes many enhancements. Zsh supports

command line editing, built-in spelling correction, programmable

command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history

mechanism, and more.
