Please guys,

If everybody could patch their perfsonar boxen against shellshock LIKE RIGHT NOW, or preferably LAST WEEK, or alternatively put the machines out of their misery with a shotgun, that would be great.

Thank you,

From the perfSonar site:

"perfSONAR is recommending that all users run yum update to download the latest packages from the CentOS repositories" This will need to be done again in a couple of weeks, when a "better" patch becomes available from the FSF or wherever. By the way, the history of the development of bash is mildly interesting. http://www.wired.com/2014/09/shellshocked-bash/
