[Cialug] Shellshock Bash Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

[kristau]

Bash will not be removed. It will be updated. If you want to remove bash
(highly inadvisable, but it is your system), you will need to run the
following as root:

   apt-get remove bash


Again, this is highly inadvisable as bash is the primary shell used by most
distros.

If you would, please advise what distro and version you are running. Also,
you may include the output from 'bash --version'. It may be that you've
already picked up the update. . .

Thanks!
