WWW.ILTANET.ORG 83 Subject: BASH Given the severity of the Bash shell code bug, we are reaching out to all our relevant product and service vendors to see if they are vulnerable. Is anyone else doing this? Peter Kaomea Chief Information Officer Sullivan & Cromwell LLP We set up alerts in our vulnerability management platform to fire on both CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169 (there might be more to come). We've heard from two vendors with Unix- variant appliances that had vulnerabilities and patches are already forthcoming. If you have a Web server running on a Linux/Unix platform, be particularly concerned; this can be exploited without authentication and be made wormable. William Kyrouz Senior Manager of Information Security & Governance Bingham McCutchen LLP Here's a helpful summary of affected systems: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/byvendor? searchview&Query=FIELD+Reference=252743&SearchOrder=4 Dustin Davies Chief Technology Officer Spilman Thomas & Battle, PLLC OVERHEARD ON E-GROUPS Do you have a legal IT-related question that you'd like to ask your ILTA peers?
