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/

Proper operation of a host requires automated updating (yum-updatesd, yum-cron) to pick up these packages. Those who are paranoid or afraid of damage from automatic updates should exclude packages that require specific versions. - Jared
