Linux delegates - update bash to evade shellshock vulnerability!

[R2]

Excellent response guys, if anyone hasn't looked into patching this, please do.
It might not have a massive impact on bitshare dacs, but it's better safe than sorry.

Just in case anyone would find this useful.. it is a guide on how to tell if you are vulnerable and how to fix it.

Aparantley this has a huge impact on linux/unix/osx servers with bash installed; if you've got it installed, please update it and keep ontop of this news!

Updated to patched bash.

I do not see it as much of a threat. The exploit only works if a delegate is using shared hosting or running services such as Web server which has bash escape.  I doubt any delegate would do that.

Shared hosting like 2 cores out of 16 on a cloud provider? Cause I see that as quite a likely scenario.
Either way, best to be safe and patch it ;D

I think this does it:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.3-patches/bash43-025

I think most distros already pushed fixes, maybe they just haven't propagated yet

[toast]

I think there's not a patch that completely fixes it out yet

updated before 1-2 days bash....
Now I realize how important it is to update in  daily base!
