Vulnerability description:

GNU Bash through 4.3 processes trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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: The 0001-bash-CVE-2014-6271-remote-code-execution-through-bas-*.patch has had the header modfied since original posting. There is no code change difference from original posting.

Note: The 0002-bash-CVE-2014-7169-and-an-Out-of-bounds-issue-*.patch's fix CVE-2014-7169, CVE-2014-7186 and CVE-2014-7187

Note: The 0003-bash-CVE-2014-6277-and-CVE-2014-6278-mitigation-*.patch's mitigate the CVE-2014-6277 and CVE-2014-6278 by closing the attack vector

Note: The 0004-bash-CVE-issue-on-shellshock-*.patch revert previous fixes and apply the official patches from bash upstream, and also add other additional two fixes to complete the CVE-2014-6277 and CVE-2014-6278.
