A remote code execution bug was found in the GNU Bash shell.

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650

I tested it on Debian stable from two days ago and indeed, I could
execute code after a function definition in an environment variable. A
server I updated yesterday evening was not vulnerable, as the Debian
team got a patch released quite fast.

This effects any server you run any code on, though the remote code
execution attack vector is unlikely for many contemporary application
servers. Read the write up for details about a proof of concept.

Good Morning!
