Hello to all my Linux friends. I’m sure you’ve heard this already, but there is a nasty new vulnerability in the wild.

Make sure you run your “yum update” to fix this thing quickly!

This article has some decent info and a test script which you can run to see if you are vulnerable!

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-your-server-against-the-shellshock-bash-vulnerability

Here’s the test script from that site:
env 'VAR=() { :;}; echo Bash is vulnerable!' 'FUNCTION()=() { :;}; echo Bash is vulnerable!' bash -c "echo Bash Test"
(Note: The above code is a single line, however it appears wrapped here.)

Happy Administrating!
-Paul
