[Wolves] bash Vulnerability

[Ron Wellsted]

In case you have been off the net for the past 24 hours, there is a
vulnerability which allows a specially crafted shell script to run
arbitrary code, so it is time to update your systems.

To test if your version of bash is vulnerable to this issue, please run
the following line of bash script (I promise this only tests for the
vulnerability !):

env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable'  bash -c "echo this is a test"
