Hi Guys,

See below about the 'Bash Virus' which has been in the news over the last
few days.  It seems that it might be worthwhile keeping on top of your
updates

You may want to pass this on to your emailing lists:


If you haven't already, apply any security updates for Bash for your
distribution.  A major vulnerability has been found and it seems that
there are still variant attacks that work, so expect further updates.

I had already applied the updates for Debian last night on my servers, but
saw this article on the Guardian website today:
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/25/bug-bash-software-could-be-bigger-threat-heartbleed

The Reg also has a good article on the subject:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/24/bash_shell_vuln/

This email is the disclosure details:

Thanks

Gavin
