thanks for the tip Mark,
I had considered trying to install the BASH update for Wheezy on my Squeeze
machines but the thought of getting the dependencies met seemed daunting.
I tried your commands but as suspected, ran into dependency issues -
Multiarch-support needs libc6 >= 2.13-5, updating libc6 requires a newer
locales, and on it goes.
The default shell on my systems is /bin/dash and /etc/passwd shows all
accounts except mine and root have /bin/sh (dash) as their shell. So it
might just be easier to change the shell for my account and roots account,
and then uninstall BASH.
I thought about doing this too, but what if scripts have
#!/bin/bash
Probably they shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they don't.

General question to everyone reading this - I have an idea for a service
to provide tracking of such info (end of life, software life cycle)
automatically.
If anyone is curios to hear more, discuss or anything else, I'd be very
happy to hear from you.
Thanks.

According to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSqueeze, regular security
updates for squeeze were ended on May 31st 2014.
"LTS security updates" are supposed to be released until 2016. LTS
support is NOT provided by Debian security team. See the LTS
announcement
in https://www.debian.org/News/2014/20140424.html
My take - upgrade is overdue.

Hey people,
I haven't seen an update for BASH come down in the Debian Squeeze
security
updates. As a result my machines are still vulnerable.
My Debian 7 machines received the update promptly just not my 6
machines.
Has anyone else received an update for BASH on Deb 6?
Im using the security.Debian.org apt source for security updates.
