Hi,

There is an utility in f-droid to check for the vulnerability.
If you use it it'll tell that we're affected.

Do you know what do or can use bash in Replicant or f-droid?

I guess busybox or toolbox's shells are the ones that are used by default by almost everything.

Denis.

You mean this tool for sure: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=shellshock&fdid=in.indiandragon.shellshock.shellshockvulnerabilityscan
The problem with this tool is:
- that it checkes one single vulnerability (CVE-2014-6271) (http://blog.indiandragon.in/2014/10/shellshock-vulnerability-in-android.html) and
- after I manually (and temporarily) switched to the patched BASH over the CWM flashable zip file:

Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/dev-lastest-bash-android-t2898295
this tool still says, that I'm vulnerable with my new BASH version.

The last point is strange, because I've manually tested the Replicant built in BASH with that (CVE-2014-6271)-exploit over the Terminal Emulator app:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
which was vulnerable, and after the replacement to the patched BASH, I definitely verified, that I'm not vulnerable to this exploit anymore, (with exactly the same test of course)...

The commits from CyanogenMod cannot be fetched (even though they show up on the github website), please provide commits I can include directly in Replicant.

I don't like the idea of updating components versions, it makes things hard to maintain, so I prefer to backport patches (i.e. I want updates to be only security-related, not features-related). If there is no other way, I will consider bumping the version, but please try to find a way for me to integrate those patches in the current code.

Note that the applications still says that it is vulnerable, but it may just be checking the bash version, which didn't change since I just backported the patches.

I tried with the script from: https://shellshocker.net/
