Hi,
OS 12.3
Do I have to keep an eye on updates of bash and readline or will they come in automatically with the updater-applet when ready?
(As I haven’t noticed any related updates till yesterday I updated them with Yast, but as I read there is another problem yet to be solved and I'd like to know if I can simply forget it and leave it to the updater...)
Thanks,
Daniel

Just run "zypper patch" and install if there is any stuff to install.
Check with
rpm -q --changelog bash|head
if the patch is in if you are worried.
Ciao, Marcus

In an article posted yesterday (Thursday Sep 25) on CBC.ca:
Linux makers released patches to protect against attacks on Wednesday, though security researchers uncovered flaws in those updates, prompting No. 1 Linux maker Red Hat Inc to advise customers that the patch was "incomplete."

Can you confirm whether or not the patched version on the update repo is "complete"?
