Adir,
I did not see your original post, so I do not know what errors you encountered.
(I do not understand why you are using a CentOS source RPM for a PPC CPU.)
However, it should be possible to update an old bash to patch the ShellShock
vulnerability. I have done it on several of our CentOS and Mac OS X systems
that are many years old. I recommend that you stick with the version of bash
your system already uses, apply the latest patches to that release, and build
that. On your target system, enter "bash --version" to display the version.
For example, on my Mac OS X 10.6 system, the version is 3.2.X. You can
download the GNU sources and patches for that version directly from
https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash. Alternately, if you have the sources for the
version you are running (ELDK v4.2), all you will need are the patches since
that release. I think in either case you will have to apply the patches you
need manually. If you use the GNU sources, there is a configure command that
will hopefully create a makefile you can use. If you are patching the ELDK
v4.2 sources, follow the ELDK instructions to update an application.
For example, for the Mac OS X 10.6 bash, I performed these steps after I
determined I needed patches 052 through 057 (which was the latest patch at the
time):
• Download the patch files from gnu.org. These must start with bash32-052, and
include
all subsequent patches sequentially:
$ for patch in 052 053 054 055 056 057
do
curl -O https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-${patch}
done
• Apply the patches in order:
$ cd bash-92/bash-3.2
$ for patch in 052 053 054 055 056 057
do
patch -p0 <../../bash32-${patch}
done
• Build the patched version of bash:
This is where you would run either the ELDK build procedure or the GNU
configure and make.
