From The Inquirer:
HACKERS HAVE DISCOVERED an exploit for Unix-based systems that some experts claim could be more serious than the Heartbleed SSL bug uncovered in April.

The bash bug, as implied by its name, is a vulnerability that allows unscrupulous users to take control of Bourne Again Shell (bash), the software used to control the Unix command prompt on some Unix-like systems. This means that systems running Mac OS X and Linux are all potentially susceptible.
