Bash update (4.2.045-5 - 4.3-2) wipes history?

Rebooted shortly after updating bash, this morning. After the reboot, the bash history of both user accounts (root and my account) was wiped, and nothing's being written to the history files, despite having "shopt -s histappend" in /etc/bash.bashrc.
Is anyone else seeing something like this?

What's the output of 'ls -l ~/.bash_history'?
Ok. Have now rebooted a few times. Initially, `ls -l ~/.bash_history` showed
-rw------- 1 klevin users 0 Mar 18 10:32:00 .bash_history
The time corresponded to the first reboot after updating bash.
Exiting an active shell resulted in .bash_history being written to (indicating that the histappend setting is not being processed or is getting overridden somewhere now).
However, a subsequent reboot resulted in .bash_history suddenly having the contents of a different shell, from earlier in the day (not one that had been running during the immediately preceding uptime). This seems like some sort of fs corruption/ext4 journal gone wrong. I did also switch from a 3.13.0-1-00038-gb0031f2 (git) kernel to the 3.13.6-1-ARCH kernel, so maybe something went wacky there. Still have to figure out why histappend is being ignored.

Bash update stuck on gray screen

I received a notification to install the new bash update for Mavericks. I clicked the button and the install process began by rebooting my laptop to a light gray screen with nothing but the cursor.
The software update did warn that it would reboot to a grey screen for a bit before rebooting back into the OS. However its been stuck on this grey screen for over an hour. The screen is completely unresponsive - I can't move the cursor and nothing happens when I press some keys on the keyboard.
Any advice on what to do next? I'd like to just power the thing down and reboot it myself, and perhaps try the update again later, but worries this will effectively "brick" my laptop. What can I do?

One more detail. I unfortunately had my FitBit dongle connected to the laptop during the update.
I've removed the dongle; can I try rebooting with dongle unplugged? Will rebooting from this state possibly mess up my laptop?

Bash update for Lion install correctly?

I can't tell if the Bash update for Lion installed correctly. It shows up twice on my desktop and is under devices in finder. It went though all the questions, agreeing and where to install. I have a Mac mini from early 2009. Running 10.7.5 version of Lion.

There should be an icon on the Desktop that looks like an external hard drive and is named "bash Update" or something like that. Drag it to the Trash. If you don't see it there, look in the sidebar of a Finder window under DEVICES and click the eject icon. Then look in the Downloads folder for a file with a similar name and drag it to the Trash.

OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks

This patch is not available via App Store update but you can get it here OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks

This patch is for the common user, so there must be a reason. Your computer is not longer vulnerable if the net provider has not done his job I would guess. Just for fun I ran this command in terminal some days ago and I got positive result. env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello' and got positive result, vulnerable hello if it was negative I would have got this message bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt bash: error importing function definition for `x' hello a
To day I got negative result after applying the patch.

Bash update - iTunes not playing radio

I play a local radio station via iTunes. After installing the bash shell update for 10.9.5 the station no longer plays. Also if I use the station's Flash player to try to play via Safari that method also fails without any specific error message. Anyone else having a problem like this after installing the bash update?

Went out for a walk and started iTunes again and it is working just fine. Go figure.
Problems resolved.

Bash: Apple should continuously support Bash update 1.x for all prior-Snow Leopard OS X and Servers

I don't see any reason why Apple should ignore all pior-Snow Leopard OS X and Servers' Bash Update 1.0.
In my work environment, I have a mixture of Unix servers (from the old to the latest). Now, all Unix machines are vulnerable to Shellshock. It is worse than heartbleed bug. Why do Apple still let crackers have chance to attack those old Apple machines and Xserves? For God's sake, please provide Bash updates to them all. This is a historical glitch. Poor users had no choice of what version of Bash to install or remove at the time. Their securities are on Apple's hand. Apple has the responsibility to fix it.
Put it another way, on May 1, 2014, despite the end of support for the Windows XP (April 8, 2014, over 12 years since its long release), Microsoft released an emergency patch to correct a major, recently discovered security exploit in the Internet Explorer browser on all versions of Windows.
If Microsoft can do it, why Apple cannot do it better?

Awesome Bar will not show browsing history after update - I have location bar set to show from history and bookmarks with history being saved for 10 days. How do I fix this?

I updated firefox last night and now none of my history will show up in my location bar. Everytime I either close the browser window or start a new tab I have to completely type out new addresses.

I'm the original asker. I uninstalled Firefox, including associated personal data and reinstalled. It now seems to work. I used FEBE to reinstall bookmarks and extensions.

Bash Update 1.0 for macs OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.5

Do I upload the following update of 9/29/14 for OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.5 as I ALREADY AM USING 10.9.5 which indicates Sept 18 update - should I seek it out and load it? It DID NOT come to me as a new update - I was just reading about updates an duplaods in MAC RUMOR, APPLE INSIDER THAN CLICKE DON THE Apple KB. Yes or no? THANKS

Most Mac users are not at risk. I suspect that the next scheduled security update will include this bug fix. I suspect it was released as a downloadable patch for Mac users that do things that would put them at risk and for Mac users that are worried (perhaps needlessly).
To be at risk, you need to run a web server AND that web server must be using CGI scripts that either directly use bash scripts or use a web server that invokes a CGI script via a bash command line hand-off. Very few consumer Mac owners do this, and Mavericks does not include the ability to easily start a web server.
Or you need to configure your Mac to allow anonymous ssh (Secure Shell) logins. This would be someone that is perhaps running a public GIT Hub source code control system. Very few Mac owners ever do anything like this.
You have enabled the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) web Interface via a Terminal Session command line command (you would know if you did this).
If you do not do any of these things, it is very unlikely you will be at risk for the ShellShock bash bug.
NOTE: This bug is very serious business for commercial web servers running on Unix platforms, so I'm trying to downplay the seriousness, just that you have to be a member of a select class of Mac users to be at risk with your Mac OS X system.

Bash update for OEL5

with regards to the current bash vulnerability I was able to find a patched version for OEL6, but the errata on linux.oracle.com does not have the rpm for OEL5.
https://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=101:26:4246981030784008::NO:RP:P26_ERRATA_ID:9123
Anyone know where to get a patched bash for OEL5?
Thanks in advance,
JD

Do you mean the following: linux.oracle.com | ELSA-2014-1293 - bash security update
OL5 is listed as well.
You might want to make sure you have the "el5_latest" repository enabled in your yum /etc/yum.d configuration file. Since the patch was apparently released today, it might take some hours to populate.
Btw, OEL is no more. The product was renamed to Oracle Linux (OL) 3 years ago.

We do not know. We are not Apple, and this is not a channel to Apple. It is just Mac OS X users talking amongst themselves trying to solve problems.
Did you report it to Apple? (most likely redundant, but bug reports are like voting one of those "Got Talent" shows

Are you at risk? That is to say, are you running a web server which uses CGI scripts that are written in bash, or invoke bash?
Do you allow anonymous users to ssh (Secure Shell) login to your Mac (for example, you run a GIT Hub source code control distribution server).
Have you used a Terminal session to enable the Common Unix Printing Services (CUPS) Web Interface?
As far as we know, these are the only known vectors that take advantage of the Mac OS X bash bug(s).
And Yes, I would like to see all bugs corrected, I'm just not going to get paranoid when I'm not currently at risk.

I just downloaded the latest update of Firefox. I can no longer retain history of my searches on the Md. Judiciary's case search

When I do wild card searches of the site, I used to see check marks next to links that I had observed. After accepting the latest update, I don't see the check marks any more.

OK, I can get Firefox 8 downloaded but then what do I do? The instructions say to move the Firefox image to the applications folder and then drag the icon from the folder to the dock. I don't know how to do this.

After i update firefox 19.02, it keeps telling me to update it again and it doesnt show up in History that i ever did

iIt says my firefox is up to date but i keep getting an update for firefox 19.02 (i have 19) I update it and it tells me to restart firefox. i do and everything seems ok. i look what version i have and it still says 19. ii also has no record that i updated anything. a few mins go by and it ask me to download and install same update i already did. i uploaded and downloaded this update multiple times and it keeps coming up

Latest Itunes update does a restore to your Ipod and wipes out everything

The lates update did a restore to my ipod and wiped everything out pictures, songs, downloaded games, EVERYTHING and needless to say I am OURTAGED should have been a warning to tell you that this would happen!! All of my songs were not stored in my library because i did not want to overload my pc with music, and a lot of songs i got from friends. and the pictures were priceless NOW ALL OF IT IS GONE and theres nothing anyone can do to replace it I THINK THAT ITUNES SOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF LETTING CUSTOMER KNOW ABOUT THIS! SO TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BURNED BY ITUNES DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UPDATE!!
SIGNED MAD AS THE DICKENS IN VA.

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Then, with "everything" in your iTunes Music library, you can sync to the iPod without risk of losing any songs.
NOTE: For any songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them at no cost, using the iTunes Store Purchased screen. Be sure to log in using the same Apple ID used for the previous purchases.

Bash not available in Software Updates

When checking in software updates for Bash patch, it shows no updates available for either a Mavericks machine or a Mountain Lion machine. Who knows why going through software update doesn't show anything available.
I did get the download at Apple - Support - Downloads (http://support.apple.com/downloads)
