cygwin bash and Shellshock / CVE-2014-6271 & CVE-2014-7169


Hello,

I downloaded the latest setup and installed the latest packages on my Win8.1
x64 box.

It seems as though my cygwin bash shell has been patched against
CVE-2014-6271 as per:
	$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
	bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
	bash: error importing function definition for `x'
	this is a test

However, it is still susceptible to CVE-2014-7169 as per:
	$ env X='() { (a)=>\' sh -c "echo date"; cat echo
	sh: X: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `='
	sh: X: line 1: `'
	sh: error importing function definition for `X'

That is, the 'original' Shellshock vulnerability is fixed, but not the 'new'
Shellshock vulnerability.

Is this correct?
