[CentOS] Critical update for bash released today.

I didn't notice you had mentioned CGI. CGI (and PHP) is only one case where
a copy of bash is loaded. There are many other possibilities, eg wrapper
bash scripts, bash shell called from programs. I don't know whether or not
there are any such cases on my machines, or if the exploit can be executed
through them,  so I'd say that the best way to be sure is to reboot.

Cheers,

Cliff
