{"id":"CVE-2014-6278","details":"GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-026 does not properly parse function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution.  NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169, and CVE-2014-6277.","modified":"2026-01-27T04:13:17.319712Z","published":"2014-09-30T10:55:04Z","withdrawn":"2026-01-27T04:13:17.319712Z","related":["MGASA-2014-0394","SUSE-SU-2016:2872-1","SUSE-SU-2017:2699-1","SUSE-SU-2017:2700-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10106-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/58200"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/59907"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/59961"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60024"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60034"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60044"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60055"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60063"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60193"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60325"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/60433"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61065"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61128"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61129"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61283"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61287"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61291"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61312"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61313"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61328"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61442"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61471"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61485"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61503"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61550"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61552"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61565"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61603"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61633"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61641"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61643"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61654"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61703"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61780"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61816"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/61857"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/62312"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/62343"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2015:164"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2380-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2014-0010.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisories/1008-security-advisory-0006"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"http://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2014/10/bash-bug-how-we-finally-cracked.html"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2014/09/bash-bug-apply-unofficial-patch-now.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147414"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://jvn.jp/en/jp/JVN55667175/index.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://jvndb.jvn.jp/jvndb/JVNDB-2014-000126"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-3093"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-3094"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2014-10/msg00004.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2014-10/msg00025.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141330468527613&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141345648114150&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383026420882&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383081521087&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383196021590&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383244821813&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383304022067&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383353622268&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141383465822787&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141450491804793&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141576728022234&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141577137423233&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141577241923505&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141577297623641&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141585637922673&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=141879528318582&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url
