[Z5T1 <z5...@z5...>]

  Update Information

A security update is available for bash for the following versions of
Cucumber Linux:

  * 1.0

Here are the details from the Cucumber 1.0 changelog:

+----------------+
Mon Aug 28 17:23:48 EDT 2017
base/bash rebuilt (build 3) to fix CVE-2016-0634, a vulnerability which allowed
	for arbitrary shell command execution as any user via setting a
	specially crafted system-wide hostname. Note: this vulnerability is
	affected by only the hostname set by the hostname command, not the
	$HOSTNAME variable. Therefore it requires root access to exploit on a
	default Cucumber Linux installation and most typical systems. For more
	information see:
		https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-0634
		https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1377613
