Bug-Description:
If a malicious user can inject a value of $SHELLOPTS containing `xtrace'
and a value for $PS4 that includes a command substitution into a shell
running as root, bash will expand the command substitution as part of
expanding $PS4 when it executes a traced command.
Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
