As of updates this morning (3-May-2022), Ubuntu 22.04 still has the
old 6.21 version of tcsh with the file globbing error. The same is
true for Debian 12 (bookworm/sid), and for other distributions based
on Ubuntu, such as Lite 6.0 and Mint 20.3,
On recent Red Hat-based versions, I find these tcsh versions:
CentOS 7 6.18.01
CentOS 8 6.20.00
CentOS 9 6.22.03
Oracle 8 6.20.00
AlmaLinux 8.5 6.20.00
AlmaLinux 9.0 6.22.03
EuroLinux 9.0 6.22.03
Navy Linux 8.4 6.20.00
Rocky Linux 8.5 6.20.09
Springdale 8.5 6.20.00
Virtuozzo Linux 8 6.20.00
On openSUSE, I find
openSUSE 15.2 6.20.00
openSUSE 15.4 6.20.00
openSUSE Tumbleweed 6.24.00 [rolling release]
The new Slackware 15 release has 6.23.02.
The file globbing error in 6.21 could reasonably be viewed as a
security risk.
Is there a chance that leading tcsh team members could, perhaps
collectively, ask the Debian, Ubuntu, and other major Linux
distribution package teams to please update their tcsh to its latest
release?
