We received reports yesterday of a critical exploit in bash (Borne Again SHell)
that affects all versions of Linux and Unix. We had waited until they released a
patch to communicate this exploit as it has been causing a lot of panic and we
did not want to provide a problem without a solution for our clients.
At
this time, both Debian and RedHat have released patches for this exploit and it
is recommended that you update your servers with the latest versions of bash at
this time. A reboot is not necessary but running "ldconfig" has been recommended
as a precaution (a reboot is still recommended by RedHat just to be
safe).
For more information regarding this exploit, you can read this
RedHat article here: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1200223
Just
to clarify, there was a patch released early yesterday but it was incomplete. We
were informed that RedHat and Debian both released an update that completely
patched the exploit less than an hour ago. Our first priority was to patch all
of our servers and then send this communication to our clients. We have noticed
that not all CentOS and Debian repositories have the latest update so please
check the version numbers to be 100% sure you have the right versions. You can
check the versions using the following links:
RedHat (CentOS) - https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1306.htmlDebian
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762760#56
If
you have any questions regarding this you are welcome to contact us and we may
be able to answer them but there is a more active discussion that has more
answers than we can provide here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1414839
Safe
patching to all.
