Yes, we could all compile and install a new version or remove bash, but
it will be interesting to see how Oracle handle it for all the Solaris
11 releases. Currently they only release patches for the latest version
11.2, so that is why I am interested in what they will do for this one.
What happens in the Zero Day Security bug was in the Solaris 11.0
kernel, so there is no way of you fixing it? Will they only release a
patch for 11.2 or will they back port?
Happy fixing.

Or will the force everyone to go to Solaris 11.2 SRU latest

We’ve got one in the system for tracking internal change management
purposes.
In the mean time if it’s super dangerous for you, then pkgrm
SUNWbash, or at least chmod 000 /bin/bash

Hi All,
I'm sure you've all heard about the bash vulnerability where:
*"specially-crafted environment variables can be used to inject
shell commands" unearthed by Stephane Chazelas very recently?.
Many linux flavors have already released patches and according to
the following test (see in full at:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1200223) Solaris 10 at least
appears to be vulnerable.
=========================
Diagnostic Steps
To test if your version of Bash is vulnerable to this issue, run the
following command:
$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
If the output of the above command looks as follows:
vulnerable
this is a test
you are using a vulnerable version of Bash. The patch used to fix
this issue ensures that no code is allowed after the end of a Bash
function. Thus, if you run the above example with the patched
version of Bash, you should get an output similar to:
$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test
=========================
Does anyone know if there is, or is planned, a patch for Solaris'
bash implementation?.
