If you haven't already, apply any security updates for Bash for your<br>
distribution.  A major vulnerability has been found and it seems that<br>
there are still variant attacks that work, so expect further updates.<br>
<br>
I had already applied the updates for Debian last night on my servers, but<br>
saw this article on the Guardian website today:<br>
<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/25/bug-bash-software-could-be-bigger-threat-heartbleed" target="_blank">http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/25/bug-bash-software-could-be-bigger-threat-heartbleed</a><br>
<br>
The Reg also has a good article on the subject:<br>
