Critical Bash vulnerability (Shellshock, CVE-2014-6271), be sure to update your servers
Post Body
There is a critical bug within a core *nix binary present in most distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and CentOS. This bug has been assigned CVE-2014-6271 and technical details can be found at Everything you need to know about Shellshock.
This vulnerability allows remote code execution on any vulnerable system. This vulnerability is exploitable through Apache, nginx and a number of scripts (such as PyWhatauto and autodl).
On Debian-like systems run the below:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo kill -1 `ps -edf | grep bash |awk '{print $2}'`
At Feral Hosting we have already implemented the patches and our status page has been updated to reflect this. Existing Bash sessions have been killed as a precaution.
This bug is considered critical and you should implement the fixes immediately.
