This new high-ranked security vulnerability, code named Shellshock since it operates through the bash shell, probably won't affect many folks here. But if you're a Linux user, or a Cygwin user like myself, or have a website hosted, then there is a chance you will want (or need) to patch your installation when the fix comes out.

Hopefully things will get patched before too many exploits occur in the wild. But it helps to be aware of this issue, and even if it doesn't affect you directly, you may see it affecting some site you do business with or visit for fun.

Should also point out that Dash isn't affected.

I thought you talked about this game : http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock:_Nam_'67

Already patched, though my systems weren't vulnerable in practice, as far as I am aware.

Correct, though one should make sure their installation doesn't have a legacy bash lurking in there as well.

All Debians up, running and patched here ;)
One attack only, and it was gently greeted with a 404…

I was thinking about this Shellshock game!

I've been hit with a couple of attacks (looks like they are scanning for vulnerable systems, the payload is a ping), but they didn't meet with any success, even though one attack was attempted before the patch.

Mobygames appears to be down, though no idea if it's related to this.
