Details

It was discovered that Bash incorrectly handled certain memory operations
when processing commands. If a user or automated system were tricked into
running a specially crafted bash file, a remote attacker could use this
issue to cause Bash to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04

• bash - 5.1-6ubuntu1.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
