Linux bash vulnerability

On Linux maybe so. Linux isn't even Unix...

It might be a shock to you but not everything is Linux, and not every Unix has bash as default, or even on the system. You might need your arrow keys working but most of us don't. Don't be lazy and expose yourself to this sort of thing, bash is not needed, nor is it a prerequisite for anything.

So simply remove bash from every machine, embedded system and device on or just behind the internet and we're all fixed. Simples cheers Stek.

No real need, it's not on proper Unix as used in the enterprise unless installed by inadequates, it's installed by default on numpty-unix-like systems tho, go figure. Makes me laugh to see Linuxites founder on AIX or HP-UX with no backspace or arrow keys and typing 'bash' in desperation only to get 'sh: bash: not found.'......

Keeping me well paid though, can't complain, kerr-ching....

Have you ever thought about after dinner speaking with such witty anecdotes?

I suppose that will have to wait a bit while you fix the internet. Got any idea how long it will take to fix?

Chill - there are fixes out there now. Just be careful in applying said fixes - don't let Apple sneakily upgrade you to xcode6

he keeps the internet in a box under his bed with his HP-UX box. Meanwhile 50% of all Unix/Linux are RHEL and use bash.

Nothing to flounder with that... btw I used to work for Sun.

Do you somethimes feel the world is passing you by?

Ouch

Aye. I think Darmie was being deliberately obtuse.

Next users crafting their own DHCP packets will be basic end user stuff

I understand IRC can also be used.

In other news, VOIP systems can also be exploited.

The attack vectors are not yet completely understood, the patches released so far have been ineffective and by now the hacking community has spread it's mucky seeds into every deep corner of the internet.

This is IT's 9/11.

I hate being right

Well Chicken Little, has the sky fallen yet?

Let me check and get back to you.

The problem is still very much a big big problem.
