[Server-devel] Fixing the Shellshocker bash exploit on the old FC9 based XS 0.6

[Samuel Greenfeld]

XS 0.7 school servers are based on CentOS 6.x, which still gets security
updates.

So you can log onto your XS 0.7 schoolserver as root, and "yum update bash"
to get the latest version.

Note that there is talk that the first fix may not be complete, so you may
have to update bash twice.
