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

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

This just tests whether or not /bin/sh is vulnerable, and on Solaris 
/bin/sh != /bin/bash (unless your admin is insane and dropped it in 
place, which can't really be ruled out).  On many (most?  all?) Linuxes, 
/bin/sh *is* /bin/bash.


So Solaris and derivatives have the bug, but the attack surface isn't 
anywhere near as massive as on a Linux distribution.  But if someone has 
written scripts explicitly using /bin/bash, or if you have sudo 
configurations that don't clean out the environment, you can get bitten.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg-update?

Cool, thanks.  Did the update create a BE automatically?



It should, but even if it doesn't you can force it to do so, with 
--require-new-be as an argument to pkg image-update.  (The upgrade docs 
also recommend setting a be name using --be-name, which is very helpful 
as well...)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How to replace a motherboard without reinstalling OpenIndiana

The problem is that the hardware on the new motherboard will most 
likely be located on PCI addresses that are different from the old one 
(with the possible exception of the GPU and the NB). From my 
experience, the installed drivers on OI will not be happy about it so 
my question is how can I reconfigure the drivers so that they use the 
pci addresses on the new motherboard?


Did a reconfigure reboot (boot with -r) not work?
