Maybe wait til the update has propagated to the mirrors. I just did a yum update, and bash wasn't in the list of updates.

No packages marked for update

Is there anyway of pushing this (and other critical) updates more quickly?

We have millions of users .. so all the mirrors need to get updated, and that takes time.

You could change the line in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo from this:

mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/

to this:

#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/

NOTE: this can result in slower updates as there are not nearly as many servers on mirror.centos.org as the mirrorlist .. but it is an option.

I am sure that is also going to wrap ..
