Fix for Shellshock Bug :

A recent update of the bash is available now. Request you to run the command below on your Helpdesk Pilot VM, to fix the vulnerability.

1. Login as superuser (password : superuser)

2. Type sudo apt-get update (password : superuser if prompted)

3. Type sudo apt-get install bash (password : superuser if prompted)

To confirm if the vulnerability has been fixed, run the command below,

 

env VAR='() { :;}; echo Bash is vulnerable!' bash -c "echo Bash Test"

Note  :  Previously it would have printed "Bash is vulnerable", when the vulnerability was present.
