Ok, how bad is this Bash Shellshock? http://gizmodo.com/why-the-shellshock-b ... tsongordon
According to the one test my Mac (running 10.6.8) is vulnerable. And before I go through the steps to fix it, I would like to know what the heck it is.

Re: Bash Shellshock
Wonder if this affects all those generic Linux-based DVRs used for cameras. A few customers have them, and while we don't officially support them we're going to have to do some digging on this.

Re: Bash Shellshock
very few embedded linuxes use bash. Now if busybox is found to have the same vulnerability, then you have trouble.Rich Jordan wrote:Wonder if this affects all those generic Linux-based DVRs used for cameras.
