Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 12
Release Status: release

Description:
    In rbash v4.4.12 it is possible to escape the restricted shell by
running a program in the current directory
    by setting the BASH_CMDS variable. This had currently been patched to
exclude "/"
    characters. However, if the file is flagged as executable, no slash
needs to be
    included, and the file with be executed.

Repeat-By:
    The break out is possible by placing a "sh" file in the current
directory. When I was
    working on this, I was able to simply run "cp /bin/sh ."

    From there, set the BASH_CMDS and execute it as such: BASH_CMDS[a]=sh;a

Fix:
    This issue seems to have been addressed in v4.4, however it appears
that it was just
    implementing a filter to restrict the use of the "/" character.
