BASH PATCH REPORT
=================
Bash-Release: 5.2
Patch-ID: bash52-010
Bug-Reported-by: la...@apache.org
Bug-Reference-ID:
Bug-Reference-URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110744
Bug-Description:
Bash-5.2 checks the first 128 characters of an executable file that execve()
refuses to execute to see whether it's a binary file before trying to
execute it as a shell script. This defeats some previously-supported use
cases like "self-executing" jar files or "self-uncompressing" scripts.
Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
