-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.
-

-MIPS: Avoid a dangling `vfork@GLIBC_2.0' reference
-
-This satisfies a symbol reference created with:
-
-	.symver	__libc_vfork, vfork@GLIBC_2.0
-
-where `__libc_vfork' has not been defined or referenced.  In this case
-the `vfork@GLIBC_2.0' reference is supposed to be discarded, however a
-bug present in GAS since forever causes an undefined symbol table entry
-to be created.  This in turn triggers a problem in the linker that can
-manifest itself by link errors such as:
-
-ld: libpthread.so: invalid string offset 2765592330 >= 5154 for section `.dynstr'
-
-The GAS and linker bugs need to be resolved, but we can avoid them too
-by providing a `__libc_vfork' definition just like our other platforms.
-
-	[BZ #17485]
-	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/vfork.S (__libc_vfork): Define.

-(cherry picked from commit b5af9297d51a43f96c5be1bafab032184690dd6f)
