   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update fixes a bug in the bash shell that allows an attacker to

   shell's environment. This is particularly dangerous if the shell is used
   as a cgi interpreter for a web server, or if the shell handles untrusted
   input inherited in the environment from other sources.
