[Sheflug] The Bash Bug

Hi

Hope everyone is well. ....

https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-crafted-environment-variables-code-injection-attack/

Env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"

Put this into any Linux system.  If it says "this is a test" and 
"vulnerable" you need to patch the bash installation.  There was an 
update for my web server yesterday.  If it just says "this is a test" 
everything is fine.
