How to determine if your version of bash is vulnerable:

To test if your version of Bash is vulnerable to this issue, run the following command:
     $ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable'  bash -c "echo this is a test"
If the output of the above command looks as follows:
vulnerable
this is a test


you are using a vulnerable version of Bash.

The patches used to fix this issue ensure that no code is allowed after the end of a Bash function. Thus, if you run the above example with the patched version of Bash, you should get an output similar to:
     $ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable'  bash -c "echo this is a test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test
