[App_rpt-users] NEW Security Issues

[Doug Crompton]

Sorry I did not qualify that. The way to update centos is 

yum update bash

The current update is:

Updated:
  bash.i386 0:3.2-33.el5.1

This should not require any recompiles. If you have any current bash jobs running you would have to stop and restart them to use the new code or just reboot.

The increase in recent hack attempts are the result of the resent knowlage of a fundamental bug in bash.It was not a big deal till someone published the flaw before some patches could be issued.

Some folks set-ups are vulnerable. If you run HTTP, you certainly are.
Just a FYI...
SHELLSHOCK  - this is bigger and older than heartbleed.

It is a very big deal for "all" linux systems running http.

to check your version of bash, type
cd /binbash --version
our acid installs should be at 3.2 Remote ssh devices are possibly at risk.Current patches may not be entirely effective.Much more to be known about this.

google shellshock for more info.
