Please merge mksh 50d-1 (main) from Debian sid (main)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Binary package hint: mksh, pdksh

Hi!

Please merge the latest mksh version from Debian sid (it’s going into testing → jessie RSN, too, and I plan to backport it as well; I’m the Debian maintainer as well as upstream).

I’ll attach a debdiff against Debian and one against the last Ubuntu version.

Thanks!

The new changelog entries are:

mksh (50c-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * New upstream security release:
    - [tg] Know more rare signals when generating sys_signame[] replacement
    - [tg] OpenBSD sync (mostly RCSID only)
    - [tg] Document HISTSIZE limit; found by luigi_345 on IRC
    - [zacts] Fix link to Debian .mkshrc
    - [tg] Cease exporting $RANDOM (Debian #760857)
    - [tg] Fix C99 compatibility
    - [tg] Work around klibc bug causing a coredump (Debian #763842)
    - [tg] Use [197]issetugid(2) as additional check if we are FPRIVILEGED
    - [tg] SECURITY: do not permit += from environment
    - [tg] Fix more field splitting bugs reported by Stephane Chazelas and
      mikeserv; document current status wrt. ambiguous ones as testcases too
  * Policy 3.9.6, no changes
  * Use klibc on x32 again, to be binNMUable, and since it works good enough
  * Update lintian overrides

I reviewed both debdiffs manually again, they look good to me.

[Thorsten Glaser (mirabilos)]

Unfortunately, we had a regression in 50c which led to 50d.

      from the environment) in arithmetics, until Stéphane writes it up

Cheers, building/uploading - sorry for the delay.

This bug was fixed in the package mksh - 50d-3ubuntu1

---------------
mksh (50d-3ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=high

  * Merge from Debian (LP: #1377295), remaining changes:

    - Maintainer change for Ubuntu

mksh (50d-3) unstable; urgency=high

  * QA upload.
  * Update to CVS HEAD, the freeze is nearing, and this is better
    than the previous upload already anyway:
    - [tg] Add more tests detailing behaviour difference from GNU bash
    - [tg] Introduce a memory leak for x=<< fixing use of freed memory
      instead, bug tracked as LP#1380389 still live
    - [tg] Add x+=<< parallel to x=<<
    - [tg, ormaaj, jilles] POSIX “command” loses builtin special-ness
    - [tg] Begin fixing LP#1381965 and LP#1381993 (more field splitting)
  * Urgency again high because of POSIX compliance bugfixes (last two)
