I've just about finished checking all our systems and so far it's a Red 
Hat/CentOS only issue and there's a (possibly transitional but at least 
working for now) patch.

BusyBox does not seem to be vulnerable so far.

So I guess there's going to be a whole slew of elderly intermediate 
network equipment (Home/SMB/SME) that has Bash variants implementing CGI 
and no updates that may be a biggish problem, rather than the higher stuff.
