Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1295-01 - The GNU Bourne Again shell is a shell and command language interpreter compatible with the Bourne shell. Bash is the default shell for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Shift_JIS, also known as "SJIS", is a character encoding for the Japanese language. This package provides bash support for the Shift_JIS encoding. A flaw was found in the way Bash evaluated certain specially crafted environment variables. An attacker could use this flaw to override or bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.
