btw msys should be safe as long as you dont use things like apache that takes advantage of bash scripting capabilities (uh oh my old msys package has apache built in :S) another reason to dump it as there will probably newer be an update to its bash shell. Also it seems the maintainer of the old msys/mingw has gone mia. cygwin also has apache but atleast bash is allready updated there. If it fixes the flaw completely
is unknown atm. Msys2 also updated bash several times allready and my last upload (installer version) allready has it, users of my previous versions should do a pacman -Syu in the Msys2 shell to get the latest updates fast. Best thing for users of my old msys package would be to block bash from accessing the internet.
