[Tfug] Do we need a new bash?

[JD Rogers]

updates have been coming through..
You can check your bash with:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"

and update with your package manager if needed.. I would bet most dists
have released the fixes by now. The coffee maker is another matter. So is
