The newlines before the 'source' statements are missing, the 'source' statements should be on a new line.

Also, there are quite a number of duplicate and conflicting lines in your config (the psql aliases).

Status

Apple has released Bash security fixes for Shellshock and related vulnerabilities as "OS X bash Update 1.0". They can be installed through normal system update for people using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 or OS X Mavericks v10.9.5 (they are included in Security Update 2014-005) and can also be installed manually. Official Apple fixes are also available for OS X Lion v10.7.5 and OS X Lion Server v10.7.5 but those are only available via manual download. The security fixes are available via different URLs based on the operating system version:

• http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1769 - Mavericks (10.9.5 and above)
• http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1768 - Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
• http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1767 - Lion & Lion Server (10.7.5)

(If new patches are released, put them here but please keep these existing ones as well for reference.)

The Apple patch takes care of Shellshock and several other vulnerabilities and is fine for most people. tl;dr people can stop reading here.

HOWEVER, the attention drawn to bash by the Shellshock bug has caused many researchers to take a hard look at bash and more and more (hard to exploit) vulnerabilities keep being found. If you are highly concerned about security (because maybe you are running OS X Server to host a publicly available web site) then you may want to (try to) keep up with the vulnerabilities and patches as they keep rolling in by compiling bash yourself. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

Look for Apple to release another update to bash some time in the future when the dust settles on finding further vulnerabilities.

---

An official set of patches of bash itself for bash 3.2, patches 52, 53, and 54 (which correspond to Bash 4.3 patches 25, 26, and 27) are available which fix both CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169, as well as the 'Game over' displayed below. This has been tested by me (@alblue) and the post has been updated accordingly (and then additional updates were made: see revision 41 for the post that stops at patch 54).

Many additional vulnerabilities have been reported against bash. According to Michal Zalewski's post if you have patch 54 (and presumably Apple's official patch) "there's no point in obsessing about the status of these individual bugs, because they should no longer pose a security risk:"

• CVE-2014-6271 - original RCE found by Stephane. Fixed by bash43-025 and corresponding Sep 24 entries for other versions.

• CVE-2014-7169 - file creation / token consumption bug found by Tavis. Fixed by bash43-026 & co (Sep 26)

• CVE-2014-7186 - a probably no-sec-risk 10+ here-doc crash found by Florian and Todd. Fixed by bash43-028 & co (Oct 1).

• CVE-2014-7187 - a non-crashing, probably no-sec-risk off-by-one found by Florian. Fixed by bash43-028 & co (Oct 1).

• CVE-2014-6277 - uninitialized memory issue, almost certainly RCE found by Michal Zalewski. No specific patch yet.

• CVE-2014-6278 - command injection RCE found by Michal Zalewski. No specific patch yet.

It gets pretty confusing. Fortunately Chet Ramey, the official bash maintainer, posted a CVE to patch mapping. His post refers to patches for bash 4.3, I (@OldPro) have translated them to patches for bash 3.2, which is what is applicable to OS X. Also, since this post he has released patch 57, so I added that below:

 bash32-052      CVE-2014-6271                           2014-09-24
 bash32-053      CVE-2014-7169                           2014-09-26
 bash32-054      exported function namespace change      2014-09-27 ("Game Over")
 bash32-055      CVE-2014-7186/CVE-2014-7187             2014-10-01
 bash32-056      CVE-2014-6277                           2014-10-02
 bash32-057      CVE-2014-6278                           2014-10-05

See David A. Wheeler's post for a timeline and greater detail.

@alblue posted build instructions through patch 55. I (@OldPro) added patch 56 and 57 to the instructions but have not tested it.

Testing for the original Vulnerability

You can determine if you are vulnerable to the original problem in CVE-2014-6271 by executing this test:

$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello'
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
hello

The above output is an example of a non-vulnerable bash version. If you see the word vulnerable in the output of that command your bash is vulnerable and you should update. Below is a vulnerable version from OS X 10.8.5:

Testing for the new Vulnerability

There has been an update to the original post and Bash 3.2.52(1) is still vulnerable to a variation of the vulnerability, defined in CVE-2014-7169

$ rm -f echo
$ env X='() { (a)=>\' sh -c "echo date"; cat echo
sh: X: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `='
sh: X: line 1: `'
sh: error importing function definition for `X'
Thu 25 Sep 2014 08:50:18 BST

The above output is an example of a vulnerable bash version. If you see a date in the output of that command your bash is vulnerable.

Disabling auto-imported functions to prevent "Game Over"

Researchers noted, without classifying it as a vulnerability, that a script could hijack a function in a subshell using auto-imported functions:

$ env ls="() { echo 'Game Over'; }" bash -c ls
Game over

The above code on an affected system would display Game Over instead of the directory listing you would expect from ls. Obviously, echo 'Game Over' could be replaced by any nefarious code you want. This became know as the "Game Over" bug.

Prior to the availability of patch 54, both NetBSD and FreeBSD disabled auto-importing bash functions by default, partly to prevent "Game Over" but mainly to contain any further errors in the parser (such as CVE-2014-7169) as they were continuing to be discovered, and added a new command line flag --import-functions to re-enable the old default behavior. I (@alblue) have prepared a patch (against 3.2.53) for others to use if they want to adopt this behaviour as well and have included it below. By default this patch is not enabled in the build script below. I (@OldPro) believe this patch is no longer necessary or a good idea, because it breaks backwards compatibility and the vulnerabilities it protects against are very well addressed by patch 54 and earlier patches, and enabling this unofficial patch prevents future patches from being applied.

(Note to question editors; please do not enable this by default, as it is an unofficial patch.)

a0c5c4d66742fddd0a35001cb91798a5fbf8a2f5 import_functions.patch

The patch can be enabled by running export ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH=YES before running the build. Note that enabling this patch will disable patch 54 and any future patches because future patches cannot be guaranteed to be compatible with the unofficial patch.

Apple Patch has Game Over vulnerability, sort of

As pointed out by @ake_____ on twitter the official Apple patch is still vulnerable to environment clobbering of executables:

$ env '__BASH_FUNC<ls>()'="() { echo Game Over; }" bash -c ls
Game Over

Users should decide for themselves how important this is. I (@OldPro) think it is nothing to worry about because there is no known exploit for this behavior (it was not even given a CVE identifier) because in general unprivileged remote attackers cannot set the name of an environment variable and attackers with privileges cannot use this to gain privileges they do not already have (at least not without exploiting an additional vulnerabiltiy).

To provide a little background, bash allows you to define functions, and furthermore allows you to export those functions to subshells via the export -f command. This used to be implemented by creating an environment variable with the same name as the function with its value set to the function definition. So

$ ls () { echo 'Game Over'; }
$ export -f ls
$ echo $ls
Game Over

This happened because export -f ls created an environment variable named ls. The "Game Over" vulnerability was that you could directly create this environment variable without having to first define the function, which meant if you could inject the right variable name you could hijack a command. Apple tried to fix this by making it hard to create a variable with the right name. The official bash patch 54 actually makes it impossible to create a variable with the right name by using variable names that include % which is a character not allowed in a variable name, effectively putting exported function definitions in a different, reserved namespace.

If none of the above makes sense to you, don't worry about it. You are fine with the Apple patch for now.

System Binaries

OS X 10.9.5 (the latest stable release at the moment) ships with Bash v3.2.51:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.51(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

You can obtain and recompile Bash as follows, providing that you have Xcode installed (and have run xcodebuild at least once before to accept the license):

$ # If you want to disable auto-imported functions, uncomment the following
$ # export ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH=YES
$ mkdir bash-fix
$ cd bash-fix
$ curl https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/bash/bash-92.tar.gz | tar zxf -
$ cd bash-92/bash-3.2
$ curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-052 | patch -p0    
$ curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-053 | patch -p0  
$ # See note above about ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH
$ [ "$ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH" == "YES" ] && curl http://alblue.bandlem.com/import_functions.patch | patch -p0
$ [ "$ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH" == "YES" ] || curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-054 | patch -p0
$ [ "$ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH" == "YES" ] || curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-055 | patch -p0
$ [ "$ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH" == "YES" ] || curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-056 | patch -p0
$ [ "$ADD_IMPORT_FUNCTIONS_PATCH" == "YES" ] || curl https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-3.2-patches/bash32-057 | patch -p0
$ cd ..
$ # Note: DO NOT ADD SUDO TO XCODEBUILD HERE
$ xcodebuild
$ build/Release/bash --version # GNU bash, version 3.2.57-release
$ build/Release/sh --version   # GNU bash, version 3.2.57-release
$ sudo cp /bin/bash /bin/bash.old
$ sudo cp /bin/sh /bin/sh.old
$ sudo cp build/Release/bash /bin
$ sudo cp build/Release/sh /bin

(Note: you can run this by copy-and-pasting the above code block, going into Terminal and then running pbpaste | cut -c 2- | sh. Always take care when running random scripts from the internet though ...)

After this, the Bash version should be v3.2.57:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.57-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

For security, and after testing, I recommend that you chmod -x the old versions to ensure they aren't re-used, or move them to a backup site.

$ sudo chmod a-x /bin/bash.old /bin/sh.old

Other answers have solutions for those using MacPorts or Homebrew; these don't fix the problem, they just install additional versions of Bash. Please see those answers if you want to upgrade those specifically.

Thanks

Thanks to Chet, who looks after bash, and has been making these patches available. Thanks to everyone else who has commented on this and improved it over time.

Now Apple has released the real fix, though this might still be useful. Because they only released a fix for Lion and up, and the official patch provides GNU bash, version 3.2.53(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13), however, the Game over bug is still somewhat vulnerable. At this point, rebuilding your own version of Bash against 3.2.57 is probably more secure than relying on Apple's patch, unless you do it wrong.
