From b6b68db896f9963558334aff7fca61adde4ec10f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seebs Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2017 18:12:01 -0500 Subject: Prevent bash from segfaulting when unloading pseudo bash's extremely fancy internal awareness of how the environment looks means that, if you directly call the underlying libc "unsetenv" on a variable, bash can end up trying to access a null pointer. Fixing this generically is actually rather hard; you can't really avoid writing to environ on fork() or popen(), even if you change all execv*() functions to use the execv*e() variants. So for now, instead of unsetting the variable, set it to an empty string. Thanks to Saur in IRC for spotting this and helping debug it.
