So, I saw an article on Gizmodo or Lifehacker that introduces Mac and Linux users to a new vulnerability which is supposed to be worse than Heartbleed - Shellshock.
I ran the test command through Terminal, as suggested, and my machine shows as vulnerable.
I'm heading to Google to find out more, but wanted to share this with you guys/gals.
To check your Mac, go to terminal and type in:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello'
If you're vulnerable (like me), you'll see:
vulnerable hello
If you're not vulnerable, you'll see:
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt bash: error importing function definition for `x' hello
[SIZE=13.63636302948px]I don't know what the hell bashes are (other than the couple I've attended with some of you asshats), [/SIZE]
[SIZE=13.63636302948px]From what I understand, Linux users have patches available already. Mac users do not.[/SIZE]
