Bash Code Injection Vulnerability via Specially Crafted Environment Variables (CVE-2014-6271)



Hi everyone,

Bash Code Injection Vulnerability via Specially Crafted Environment
Variables (CVE-2014-6271)

https://access.redhat.com/articles/1200223

My current Debian setup is vulnerable, as shown below:

==============================================
slitt@mydesq2:~$ env x='() { :;}; \
echo vulnerable'  bash -c "echo this is a test" 
vulnerable
this is a test
slitt@mydesq2:~$ uname -a
Linux mydesq2 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64
GNU/Linux slitt@mydesq2:~$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 7 \n \l

slitt@mydesq2:~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

Does anyone know if there's an fix for Debian's bash, and how to install
it? 

Thanks,
