CVE-1999-0234

Summary

CVE-1999-0234 is a vulnerability affecting the Bash shell. It permits an attacker to inject commands into a shell session by placing a character with a value of 255 as a command separator. This can lead to arbitrary code execution and potential system compromise. Bash interprets such characters as a signal to separate commands, creating a security loophole. Attackers can exploit this issue by sending crafted inputs or modifying shell scripts. This vulnerability, if exploited, can result in serious consequences, including data theft or system takeover.
