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:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650

Thanks

Gavin
