The current maintainer says it's been in bash for ~20 years, why it's not in Solaris 10 is a mystery.

It is in Solaris 10.  (And 11.)  The test being used is flawed:

  env X="() { :;} ; echo busted" /bin/sh -c "echo completed"

The good news is that if you have a support contract, there is a Solaris 10 bash patch which seems to solve all the reported attack vectors (in my own testing). It took Oracle two patches to get things right.

The obvious replacement for Solaris 10 has been OpenIndiana but unfortunately, OpenIndiana has not been issuing any fixes for even the most high-profile security issues (like this one).
