you certainly have heard about [http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-6271](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-6271), probably also the successor [http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-7169](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-7169)

I wonder if Novell will publish a free version of a SLES10 SP4 fix: the relevant patches in [http://support.novell.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-6271.html](http://support.novell.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-6271.html) are all locked and restricted to LTSS customers.

Furthermore I wonder when a patch for CVE-2014-7169 will be made available.

FreeBSD and Debian 7 are already done, but [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=898346](https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=898346) sounds not so promising:  
“Please submit fixed packages until 2014-10-03”

Cheers, Thomas

Hi  
I would assume, out of support and self support come into play, you should have a look on the Open Build Service…  
[http://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=✓&q=bash&search\_devel=false&search\_devel=true&search\_unsupported=false&baseproject=ALL](http://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=bash&search_devel=false&search_devel=true&search_unsupported=false&baseproject=ALL)

This is normal auto generated text by the package update mechanism, packages are generally in the works when you see this…

AFAIK from Mailing List traffic, this is not as critical [http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-09/msg00615.html](http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-09/msg00615.html)

interestingly, on [https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7015702](https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7015702) we read

[QUOTE] “Due to the nature of this issue, it was decided that patches would  
be made available to customers who don’t have an LTSS agreement or  
not for SLES10SPx and SLES11SPx. For further information about  
this, please contact Customer Support.”  
[/QUOTE]

Thus, the patch is also available to non-LTTS customers, but they need to contact support.

Also, [https://www.suse.com/support/shellshock/](https://www.suse.com/support/shellshock/) has additional information.

HTH, Thomas
