Re: Ubuntu Upgrade Broke my Perl Dependant Apps

"I heard about the bash bugs last night I decided on upgrading all off my server... it worked fine on all my servers, except my mail server..."

Pretty fearless! Seems like you had luck ;-)

But why did you do an upgrade? Wasn't there a working Shellshock fix for Ubuntu?

Is the Ubuntu fix is complete? The Register (as of AM 2014-09-26 if I read and recall correctly) suggested it's incomplete and only addresses the primary bug, not the entire problem. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes. Juvenal, Satires	[reply] [d/l]
