So if you rely on Bash better update. I _THINK_ the problem was only fixed last week or so. Let your friends know! :) Don't ask me about specifics, I just got the info and passed it along, since it sounded like good advice. I think you are talking about this: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650 It first came to light about a month ago or so. It's primarily a concern on public servers, with old fashioned CGI scripts being the primary vector. I imagine (and hope) most distros have released updates to address this by now.
