But if you ask how this affects /bin/bash, I can quote the description
from Lingzhu,

	sigchld.sh (reproducer):

	#!/bin/bash
	( while :; do kill -CHLD $$ 2>&- || break; done ) &
	while :; do
		read -p 1 -t 0.3 -d ' '
		read -p 2
	done

	Double free happens in read_builtin, here

	    FREE (tofree);
	->  xfree (orig_input_string);

	    return (retval);

result:

	sigchld.sh: line 4: read: error setting terminal attributes: Interrupted system call
	1
	*** glibc detected *** ./bash-4.1.2-14.el6/bin/bash: double free or corruption (out): 0x00000000020f45b0 ***
	======= Backtrace: =========
	(...)
