pkgsrc trunk implemented a workaround yesterday evening which disables
the import functions feature by default.  Users who wish to continue
using this feature will need to explicitly pass --import-functions to
the shell to re-enable the feature, after verifying that the script
does not lie in an attack path.

In lieu of an official fix for CVE-2014-7169 this seems like a
sensible course of action, and so I back-ported the fix to our release
branches and a number of them finished overnight, the rest will
complete throughout the course of today.

The package you are looking for, after running 'pkgin update', is
'bash-4.3.025nb2'.

Note that whether or not you use --import-functions, this version
fixes CVE-2014-6271 for both cases, and should no longer be vulnerable
to that issue.
