-Subject: CVE-2014-7817: wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD.

-CVE-2014-7817: wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD.
-
-The function wordexp() fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD
-flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of "$((... ``))"
-where "..." can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic
-epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade
-command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass
-dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass
-the WRDE_NOCMD flag. This patch fixes this by checking for WRDE_NOCMD
-in exec_comm(), the only place that can execute a shell. All other
-checks for WRDE_NOCMD are superfluous and removed.
-
-We expand the testsuite and add 3 new regression tests of roughly
-the same form but with a couple of nested levels.
-
-On top of the 3 new tests we add fork validation to the WRDE_NOCMD
-testing. If any forks are detected during the execution of a wordexp()
-call with WRDE_NOCMD, the test is marked as failed. This is slightly
-heuristic since vfork might be used in the future, but it provides a
-higher level of assurance that no shells were executed as part of
-command substitution with WRDE_NOCMD in effect. In addition it doesn't
-require libpthread or libdl, instead we use the public implementation
-namespace function __register_atfork (already part of the public ABI
-for libpthread).
-
-Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.
-
