The short answer is that it doesn't matter. Conformance with the
current POSIX standard would require system() to always call "sh".

This is the same on UNIX. UNIX has the equivalent of the UAF, you can
set the user's shell to an arbitrary executable, but system() still
can be counted on to call "sh".
