GNU Bash vulnerability/Linux servers

[chayton]

If anybody's got VPS or a dedicated server running Linux, you might want to check this out and apply Bash updates if necessary. Shared servers should already be updated.

Info on the vulnerability is here:

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

And there's a testing utility here: Outdated URL (Invalid)

The main Linux distros pushed out patches pretty damn quickly. I think mine came in yesterday, though there's some debate whether these early patches are fully effective.

The first patch was said to be 'incomplete' so there was another patch that supposedly resolved that issue. We'll see I guess!
