Dear Tails users,
As you might have heard there is a Bash vulnerability, I have created a
temporary countermeasure write-up below.
Temporary countermeasure
================
Debian has provided an updated version, we recommend you to upgrade to
the latest version of Bash and this is how you do it:
This is a less safe way to do it, make sure you use a trusted network
and please note this change isn't persistent.
1: Set up an administrative password[1] when you boot Tails
2: Connect to the Internet (I recommend using a trusted network)
3: Run the following in a "root terminal": apt-get update && apt-get
install bash
The more experienced user way:
1: Set up an administrative password[1] when you boot Tails
2 Download the wheezy package through a separate computer and place it
on the persistent volume to install before you connect to the Internet
and verify checksums :)
3 If you have the `deb` run in a "root terminal": dpkg -i /path/bash.deb
4: Connect to the internet
