Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-09-20 10:55:37 UTC 
From ${URL} :

A vulnerability was found in a way bash expands the $HOSTNAME. Injecting the hostname with malicious code would cause it to run each time bash expanded 
\h in the prompt string.

@maintainer(s): since the fixed package is already in the tree, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-20 11:12:58 UTC 
IMHO bash-4.4 is way too new to start stabilization process anytime soon.
bash-4.4/readline-7.0 are even masked for testing right now.
