As per the DD-WRT homepage, the bash bug doesn't impact a typical router even when it's installed (which you can with community WRTs like LibreCMC) because mostly there's no network facing use of bash. To rehearse something I've said in another thread - for the purposes of a typical Trisquel user, then the instruction has to be put all the security patches on as and when they become available. However, 'pro' security patch practice is quite different from that advice. Just doing what the 'pros' do and not making a mess of it is something most people don't have the knowledges, skills or time for. So, again, keep putting those patches on... I do at home to save the time despite being capable of doing otherwise.
