A serious vulnerability called the “Shellshock” bug has been detected in GNU Bash, a popular command-line shell for Unix-based computers. The Shellshock Bug has the potential to allow attackers to take control of an operating system, find and alter confidential information, or use the system to launch new attacks. Click above for more information For managed ECE Linux machines, the IT Support Team will update bash automatically. For non-managed ECE Linux machines, we reccomend you update bash for your Linux distribution as soon as possible. More information is available at [1]
