‘Shell Shock’ command line vulnerability

The presence of the vulnerability can be confirmed by opening a Terminal window and pasting in the following command:

$env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello'

If you see a printed message of 'vulnerable', then your shell is affected.

Solution: Patch your shell or upgrade to ver4.3 and above.
