First, I apologize for this not being fedora-specific, but I just got
the oddest email.  It looks like an intrusion attempt, trying to get

Oh my yes. This is a probe for CVE-2014-6271, a serious bug in bash known as
"shellshock". See
<http://fedoramagazine.org/shellshock-how-does-it-actually-work/>.

If your system is up to date, you should be safe -- all major distributions
released patches quickly.



I sorta thought that, but I didn't think that sendmail was vulnerable to it...
