perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Greetings;

Please see below for an announcement from the CentOS project regarding a 
critical security update to the bash application.  Additional information on 
the vulnerability can be found at the following URLs:

https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-crafted-environment-variables-code-injection-attack/
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-6271
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650

perfSONAR netinstall users are encouraged to run 'yum update' immediately, 
and pull down the patched version of this package.  This will come from 
CentOS directly.  

The perfSONAR team is currently rebuilding the LiveCD product for version 
3.3, and will announce to these lists when it is available. Concerned parties 
can power down their LiveCDs for the time being.  

Please relay any questions or concerns regarding this announcement to the 
developers: 


Thanks;

-jason
