Would you say the same about Linux desktop users? Or do we tend to run Bash for more things? I'm unfamiliar with bash's role in OSX.
- umanwizard 12y agoI don't use Linux, so I can't say for sure, but I've read that Linux DHCP cilents often call out to bash, so you should definitely upgrade if you ever connect your computer to untrusted networks (which you almost certainly do if it's a laptop and you're not paranoid) You should upgrade regardless, though, since bash is so ubiquitous that it's hard to be sure you're not vulnerable in some esoteric way.
