Security vulnerability in bash

It was disclosed that Stephane Chazelas discovered a critical vulnerability in the GNU bash utility.
This problem is present on a vast majority of Unix and Linux systems. By using this vulnerability, any attacker can force the execution of arbitrary commands on an affected server. Although these commands may not run on root priviledges, a significant problem arises for future attacks on infected systems.

We immediately checked all our systems and updated nodes which were affected by the issue, to ensure the vulnerability is addressed.
