variables with a value beginning with '()'. For each of these

body filled in from the environment variable's value.
A malicious user with sudo access to a shell script that uses bash can
use this feature to substitute arbitrary commands for any
non-fully-qualified programs called from the script. Therefore this
flaw can lead to privilege escalation.");
