These were tested using the env x=.... command in the Ars article.

OpenSuse 13.1 has been updated. I'm not sure when.
GNU bash, version 4.2.47(1)-release (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu)

OS X 10.9.5 is vulnerable.
GNU bash, version 3.2.51(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13)

I run MobaXterm on Windows and it's also vulnerable:
GNU bash, version 4.1.10(3)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
