Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 50d
Release     : 1.fc21
URL         : https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
Summary     : MirBSD enhanced version of the Korn Shell
Description :
mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh),
a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar to the original AT&T Korn
shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a
modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use, being a
bourne shell replacement, pdksh successor and an alternative to the C shell.

Update Information:

R50d is a required bugfix release:

  * Fix NULL pointer dereference on “unset x; nameref x”
  * Fix severe regression in field splitting (LP#1378208)
  * Add a warning about not using tainted user input (including from the environ(7)ment) in arithmetics, until Stéphane writes it up nicely
