Hi all,

Today a security release of Bash was issued, fixing a critical vulnerability.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code on
many web servers and other applications.

This issue does not affect Twisted directly, but will affect many users of
Twisted.

Any web server which is serving traffic over a CGI or CGI-like interface
(including WSGI) should upgrade its version of Bash immediately.

This issue has been assigned CVE-2014-6271.

A complete description of the bug is also available: http://seclists.org/oss-
sec/2014/q3/650

New packages have been issued for the following operating systems:

* Debian: http://www.debian.org/security/2014/dsa-3032
* Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2362-1/
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1293.html

Please be aware that there are reports that the current patches do not
completely solve the issue, it is likely that users will need to perform
updates a second time.

Sincerely,
Alex Gaynor
