[nmglug] Critical Vulnerability in bash

[Max Bond]

There is a critical vulnerability in bash which can often lead to remote
execution of code or local elevation of privileges.

Theres a patch in the repositories but it doesn't actually fix the issue
yet.

Bring down everything you can; don't connect to distrusted DCHP servers;
Apple is also effected, as are Android and iPhones; this is going to have a
huge fallout. Be prepared to update your home router. Most routers rely on
bash CGIs which are the biggest attack vector. Worms are imminently
expected.
