As Bash damage spreads, experts warn of network attacks and an internet meltdown
http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/25/6843669/bash-shellshock-network-worm-could-cause-internet-meltdown
Because most network hardware runs on UNIX-based software, a lot of the routers and switches that make up the internet will be vulnerable to the attack, allowing attacks to spiral out of control. "Many of the high-end networking systems are built atop a Linux/Unix platform that can often times be vulnerable," Soltani says.
Patches have been issued for various Linux distributions, but many in the community believe those patches will only be useful to buy time for a more permanent fix. Secunia Security has issued an advisory that the patch issued by GNU is ineffective. As another researcher wrote, "if I were a betting man, I would not bet on the fix holding up in the long haul."
