1. Topic:
Updated bash (1.x) packages for Red Hat Linux 5.x and 6.x, fixing a security problem, are available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 5.0 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 5.1 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 5.2 - i386, alpha, sparc

3. Problem description:
The << operator in bash 1.x used predictable filenames, leading to a potential denial of service attack.
A local user account is required to exploit the security leak.

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
