Description Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-12 13:54:23 UTC
bash42-021:
Using `read -N' to assign values to an array can result in NUL values being
assigned to some array elements.  These values cause seg faults when referenced
later.

bash42-022:
The return value from lseek is `off_t'.  This can cause corrupted return
values when the file offset is greater than 2**31 - 1.

bash42-023:
Under some circumstances, an exit trap triggered by a bad substitution
error when errexit is enabled will cause the shell to exit with an
incorrect exit status (0).

bash42-024:
When `printf -v' is used to set an array element, the format string contains
`%b', and the corresponding argument is the empty string, the buffer used
to store the value to be assigned can be NULL, which results in NUL being
assigned to the array element.  This causes a seg fault when it's used later.
