Bash Version: 2.03
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        Bash may inadvertently execute a command that the user did not 
anticipate
        if STDIN is closed.

Repeat-By:
        Unfortunately I can't construct a test case that doesn't need
        our local s/ware.

        But the problem is ...

        When bash reads input (in interactive mode) if it gets EOF
        it then executes any partial command that is in the input buffer - even 
though <CR>
        has not been entered by the user

Fix:
        Incomplete commands should not be executed - they can have disasterous
        results.

        Example:
                If the command being entered were "rm -rf 
/home/username/tmp/junk"
                but the input is terminated just at the point where username 
has been
                entered then the user's /home dircetory is trashed.
