Hello, I downloaded the latest setup and installed the latest packages on my Win8.1 x64 box.
It seems as though my cygwin bash shell has been patched against
CVE-2014-6271 as per:
$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test
However, it is still susceptible to CVE-2014-7169 as per:
$ env X='() { (a)=>\' sh -c "echo date"; cat echo
sh: X: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `='
sh: X: line 1: `'
sh: error importing function definition for `X'

That is, the 'original' Shellshock vulnerability is fixed, but not the 'new'
Shellshock vulnerability.
Is this correct?
Other info:
cygcheck.out is attached
