 -- Helmut Grohne <email address hidden>  Sun, 17 Jun 2018 21:15:06 +0200

bash (4.4.18-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Apply upstream patches 020 - 023. Fixing:
    - In circumstances involving long-running scripts that create and reap many
      processes, it is possible for the hash table bash uses to store exit
      statuses from asynchronous processes to develop loops. This patch fixes
      the loop causes and adds code to detect any future loops.
    - A SIGINT received inside a SIGINT trap handler can possibly cause the
      shell to loop.
    - There are cases where a failing readline command (e.g., delete-char at
      the end of a line) can cause a multi-character key sequence to `back up'
      and attempt to re-read some of the characters in the sequence.
    - When sourcing a file from an interactive shell, setting the SIGINT handler
      to the default and typing ^C will cause the shell to exit.

    - A typo prevents the `compat42' shopt option from working as intended.
    - If a file open attempted as part of a redirection fails because it is
      interrupted by a signal, the shell needs to process any pending traps
      to allow the redirection to be canceled.
    - An incorrect conversion from an indexed to associative array can result
      in a core dump.
  * Add $HOME/.local/bin to PATH, and add the user's home directories
    unconditionally to the path, so that they are available without
    a new login. Closes: #820856, LP: #1588562.

      (e.g., foo='bar[1]' ; echo ${!foo}).
  * debian/skel.bashrc: Add GCC_COLORS setting (disabled by default).

 -- Matthias Klose <email address hidden>  Thu, 21 Aug 2014 22:58:16 +0200

bash (4.3-8) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Apply upstream patches 012 - 022, fixing the issues:
    - When a SIGCHLD trap runs a command containing a shell builtin while a
      script is running `wait' to wait for all running children to complete,
      the SIGCHLD trap will not be run once for each child that terminates.
    - Using reverse-i-search when horizontal scrolling is enabled does not
      redisplay the entire line containing the successful search results.
    - Under certain circumstances, $@ is expanded incorrectly in contexts
      where word splitting is not performed.
    - When completing directory names, the directory name is dequoted twice.
      This causes problems for directories with single and double quotes in
      their names.
    - An extended glob pattern containing a slash (`/') causes the globbing
      code to misinterpret it as a directory separator.
    - The code that creates local variables should not clear the `invisible'
      attribute when returning an existing local variable.  Let the code that
      actually assigns a value clear it.
    - When assigning an array variable using the compound assignment syntax,
      but using `declare' with the rhs of the compound assignment quoted, the
      shell did not mark the variable as visible after successfully performing
      the assignment.
    - The -t timeout option to `read' does not work when the -e option is used.
      LP: #1317476.
    - When PS2 contains a command substitution, here-documents entered in an
      interactive shell can sometimes cause a segmentation fault.
    - When the readline `revert-all-at-newline' option is set, pressing newline
      when the current line is one retrieved from history results in a double
      free and a segmentation fault. Closes: #747341.
    - Using nested pipelines within loops with the `lastpipe' option set can
      result in a segmentation fault.
  * Fix typo in package description. Closes: #707810.

 -- Matthias Klose <email address hidden>  Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:14:31 +0200

bash (4.3-7) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Apply upstream patches 009 - 011 (replacing local patches):
    - Fix a problem with unsigned sign extension when attempting to reallocate
      the input line when it is fewer than 3 characters long and there has been
      a history expansion.  The sign extension causes the shell to not
      reallocate the line, which results in a segmentation fault when it writes
      past the end.
    - Change the behavior of programmable completion to compensate for two
      assumptions made by the bash-completion package.
    - The signal handling changes to bash and readline (to avoid running any
      code in a signal handler context) cause the cursor to be placed on the
      wrong line of a multi-line command after a ^C interrupts editing.

 -- Matthias Klose <email address hidden>  Wed, 16 Apr 2014 23:10:28 +0200

bash (4.3-6) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Apply upstream patches 001 - 008:
    - A missing check for a valid option prevented `test -R' from working.
      There is another problem that causes bash to look up the wrong variable
      name when processing the argument to `test -R'.
    - A change to save state while running the DEBUG trap caused pipelines to
      hang on systems which need process group synchronization while building
      pipelines.
    - When in callback mode, some readline commands can cause readline
      to segfault by passing invalid contexts to callback functions.
    - The `.' command in vi mode cannot undo multi-key commands beginning with
      `c', `d', and `y' (command plus motion specifier).
    - When in Posix mode, bash did not correctly interpret the ANSI-C-style
      $'...' quoting mechanism when performing pattern substitution word
      expansions within double quotes.
    - A shell that started with job control active but was not interactive left
      the terminal in the wrong process group when exiting, causing its parent
      shell to get a stop signal when it attempted to read from the terminal.
    - Using compound assignments for associative arrays like
        assoc=( [x]= [y]=bar )
      left the value corresponding to the key `x' NULL.  This caused
      subsequent lookups to interpret it as unset.
    - Some extended glob patterns incorrectly matched filenames with a leading
      dot, regardless of the setting of the `dotglob' option.
  * Replace already applied patches by the upstream patch files.

bash (4.2+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * Apply upstream patches 038 - 045, fixes for
    - If a backslash-newline (which is removed) with no other input is given as
      input to `read', the shell tries to dereference a null pointer and
      segfaults.
    - Under certain circumstances, bash attempts to expand variables in
      arithmetic expressions even when evaluation is being suppressed.
    - Output redirection applied to builtin commands missed I/O errors if
      they happened when the file descriptor was closed, rather than on write
      (e.g., like with an out-of-space error on a remote NFS file system).
    - Process substitution incorrectly inherited a flag that inhibited using the
      (local) temporary environment for variable lookups if it was providing
      the filename to a redirection.  The intent the flag is to enforce the
      Posix command expansion ordering rules.
    - Compilation failed after specifying the  `--enable-minimal-config' option
      to configure (more specifically, specifying `--disable-alias').
    - When SIGCHLD is trapped, and a SIGCHLD trap handler runs when a pending
      `read -t' invocation times out and generates SIGALRM, bash can crash with
      a segmentation fault.
    - When converting a multibyte string to a wide character string as part of
      pattern matching, bash does not handle the end of the string correctly,
      causing the search for the NUL to go beyond the end of the string and
      reference random memory.  Depending on the contents of that memory, bash
      can produce errors or crash.
    - The <&n- and >&n- redirections, which move one file descriptor to another,
      leave the file descriptor closed when applied to builtins or compound
      commands.
  * Fix parallel build (Steven Chamberlain). Closes: #694659.
  * Fix german translations. Closes: #688571.
  * Fix typo in man page. Closes: #696706.

bash (4.2-4) unstable; urgency=high


  * Apply upstream patches 030 - 036, fixes for
    - When attempting to glob strings in a multibyte locale, and those strings
      contain invalid multibyte characters that cause mbsnrtowcs to return 0,
      the globbing code loops infinitely.
    - A change between bash-4.1 and bash-4.2 to prevent the readline input hook
      from being called too frequently had the side effect of causing delays
      when reading pasted input on systems such as Mac OS X.  This patch fixes
      those delays while retaining the bash-4.2 behavior.
    - Bash-4.2 has problems with DEL characters in the expanded value of
      variables used in the same quoted string as variables that expand
      to nothing.
    - Bash uses a static buffer when expanding the /dev/fd prefix for the test
      and conditional commands, among other uses, when it should use a dynamic
      buffer to avoid buffer overflow.
    - In bash-4.2, the history code would inappropriately add a semicolon to
      multi-line compound array assignments when adding them to the history.
    - When given a number of lines to read, `mapfile -n lines' reads
      one too many.
    - Bash-4.2 produces incorrect word splitting results when expanding
      double-quoted $@ in the same string as and adjacent to other variable
      expansions.  The $@ should be split, the other expansions should not.

bash (4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low


  * Apply upstream patches 025 - 029, fixes for
    - When used in a shell function, `declare -g -a array=(compound assignment)'
      creates a local variable instead of a global one.
    - The `lastpipe' option does not behave correctly on machines where the
      open file limit is less than 256.
    - When the `extglob' shell option is enabled, pattern substitution does not
      work correctly in the presence of multibyte characters.
    - When using a word expansion for which the right hand side is evaluated,
      certain expansions of quoted null strings include spurious ^? characters.
    - Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
      without expanding them to a full pathname.  One effect of this is that
      shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
      unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
      character to the shell. This patch introduces two things:
      - A new shell option, `direxpand', which, if set, attempts to emulate the
        bash-4.1 behavior of expanding words to full pathnames during
        completion;
      - A set of heuristics that reduce the number of times special characters
        such as `$' are quoted when the directory name is not expanded.
