You must update bash to protect your CentOS 6, 7, or Fedora 20 server against the ShellShock vulnerability.

These instructions only apply to servers with the Gateway interface (more info). If you have a CentOS 6 server with the Hosting Control Panel interface, instead see Update bash (CentOS 5 and 6).

  1. Connect to your server via SSH
  2. Run the following command:
    sudo yum -y update bash

Bash is now properly patched and updated on your server.
