My BBB with 14.04 newly installed (Two weeks ago) had the vulnerability.
Fortunately, a system update/upgrade will fix.
While this probably doesn't apply to most of us, there is a recent security
issue in Linux systems (Mid September) It is called 'Bashdoor' Bash Bug or
'Shellshock'
From the CLI on your system you can test with:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
ubuntu@arm:~$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
vulnerable
< bad
this is a test
To fix Ubuntu:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
After and update, the system was still vulnerable. After upgrade it was OK.
This is probably only an issue if you are running a server like Apache on your
bone.
