"ShellShock" - what are you doing?

[Bruce Pokras]

Can anyone explain exactly what this means? What are those "special, advanced Unix services?

"But Apple said in an emailed statement that most of its users aren't affected, as OS X's "systems are safe by default and not exposed to remote exploits of Bash" -- unless users have actively turned on special, advanced Unix services."
