Shell shock - Bash bug

[Blaaaaaaaah]

Can anyone explain this for dummies (pssst Vasu)?

I read a few articles to find out how it might affect me or what I can do or update.... but most made very little sense to me. Does it only affect Linux/Apple systems?

[Hessah]

Yeah I don't even know what I'm meant to be updating? My website or my computer? @_@

[Blaaaaaaaah]

I read more about it at lunch and it sounds like people who hosts websites needs to update it..??? I dunno @_@_@ I was thinking if we don't understand it then it means it's nothing within our control LOL

^loll

I just read some article too and it says it only affects Mac and Linux? And Windows is fine?

So confusing..

[Blaaaaaaaah]

I find this one easier to understand than others:
