Looking at string variables, it appears to be a kernel exploit with a CnC component.

I created a gist showing how to add a line to your bashrc to identify the presence of the vulnerability. This is useful to me because I work on many different servers with many different administrators, and I sync my bashrc across machines using Git. I would appreciate input!

Caught one passing in as User Agent string at 14:34.

Reason: User header "HTTP_USER_AGENT" contains "() { :;}"

Surely someone could come up with a creative script to run in place of ping. Maybe tweet the offending scanner IP address with #SHELLSHOCK hashtag.

bmurch: shouldn't that be "grep '() {' *"? The colon doesn't have to be a colon for it to work.

-- this one showed up a couple times on our servers today from netherlands. the source it pulls from http://213.5.67.223/jur has what looks to be a botnet with a worm component.

edit - looks like the 213.5.67.223 removed the exposed file. I have a copy of it, is there anyone in the security community I can send it to? there is some pretty scary looking shit in it. damn perl script has a built in port scanner, bot net tcp/udp flooders and spreader.

Can anyone else confirm if this is a suitable intermediary fix whilst we wait for a more permanent fix?

akamai/bash@7caac6e

On OS X, I applied all the patches (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.3-patches/) and rebuilt bash 4.3 from source after making this change manually to variables.c and it appears to be working. Not able to reproduce the Bash bug vulnerability as such...

Somebody did this that supposedly works for both Mac / OSX and (all?) Linux variants, but test it yourself and have a go: https://shellshocker.net/

A n00b question here:
If the logs show up as 404'd does it mean the UserAgent env were not actually evaluated - i.e. exploit failed ?

@ChrisMCMine

@Cherrytreee do you have cgi scripts? If not then you're safe atm.

@ChrisMCMine I don't. Thx!

More in the wild, though it looks like one of those "Is your site affected?" website scanners like shellshocker.net (if not for the remote file fetching). In this case, I wonder if it's necessarily a good idea for people to be creating "Check your website" online testers since it provides a proxy option for people with more malicious intent.
