{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6277","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 code or cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access, and untrusted-pointer read and write operations) 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 and CVE-2014-7169.","modified":"2026-09-01T20:03:23.417467053Z","published":"2014-09-27T22:55:02.660Z","upstream":["CVE-2014-6277"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2014-6277"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bash","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/bash?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.3-9.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6277.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bash","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/bash?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.3-9.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6277.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bash","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/bash?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.3-9.2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2014-6277.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
