Yes, but not in apache. The vulnerability dubbed "shellshock" is a
flaw in bash and patches and upgrades are already widely available for
bash. Upgrade or patch your bash installations now.

It is not a flaw in apache. Apache is simply a network-enabled channel
through which exploitative payloads may be delivered to unpatched
installations of bash (one of many such channels).
