ITS is aware of the Bash Shellshock exploit that was announced earlier this week and we continue to investigate the impact on campus. As this exploit primarily affects Unix-based systems, Windows users will not need to be concerned unless they install and use Bash shell for Windows, in which case they will need to apply any patches as they become available. Apple has not yet addressed the issue directly but may make a patch available in the near future.

As the scope of this exploit is broad, affecting everything from servers to mobile devices and home routers, please apply all security patches when they are made available for your device.
