For most of them, none, as they will most likely be running Busybox
which is not bash.


If however you have a "high end super" router of some sort, it is  worth
checking what it is that gives you a command prompt!...


Regardless, so far this little snafu looks to be generating more 'good'
publicity for Linux than bad. Who in the general public could have
guessed such an unknown name was so significant?!...

That old game of all and any news is good publicity?


For myself, various systems here were easily and quickly updated. In any
case, most likely bash isn't exposed to the outside world.

The real danger is likely more for those mostly commercial systems left
abandoned unmaintained and forgotten until they fail...


Cheers,
Martin
