Actually I made most of that up, the UNIX in Windows uses ksh and csh but you can install Bash from 3rd party sources
GPFS uses ksh which is what we use it for but SUA installs bash too I'm told and it's certainly there on our boxes, and I see no way of removing it! I hink it might be in the GNU Utilities bit but I can't break it down to see what's in it.
You can also have Cygwin installations with bash I suppose....
The seriousness of the bug has also led governments to act quickly. The UK government said its cybersecurity response team had issued an alert to its agencies and departments giving Shellshock the "highest possible threat ratings".
It had this rating, said the alert, because vulnerable systems would "inevitably" include machines that formed part of the UK's critical national infrastructure.
Early reports suggest up to 500 million machines could be vulnerable to Shellshock but, wrote Jen Ellis from security firm Rapid7, this figure was now being revised downwards because of the "number of factors that need to be in play for a target to be susceptible".
Will be revised to a few hundred web servers that host website built in 1994.
