Welcome to the October 2014 Newsletter.
Even if you had been living in the depths of some dense jungle (are there any left?) or on an Arctic icecap (ditto), you would have heard of the Bash or ShellShock bug by now.
Indeed, at least in security terms, its infamy has circled the globe many times over. So, incidentally, has its impact.
Bash is a system software used by millions of computers servers and devices. It is a part of many Linux systems, as well as Apple's Mac operating system. The actual bug, dubbed Shellshock, can be used to remotely take control of almost any system that is using Bash. The vulnerability has opened up the possibility that an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on any machine running it. The biggest target is web servers.
Patches were being rushed on an almost hourly basis as we went to press and security researchers delving into the Bash codebase were discovering more and more alarming aspects, the deeper they looked.
Where it will end is anyone’s guess. But the likelihood is that the worst is yet to come.
