Calendar Grey October 2, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
A recent patch addresses two vulnerabilities linked to the shebang line parsing in zsh for Fedora 29. It's crucial to update your system to mitigate any potential risks.
- 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.
