Apple have released an updated version of bash
  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6495
  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1769 ...

But:
a) only first 2 CVEs are fixed.

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.53(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

$ env '__BASH_FUNC<ls>()'="() { echo Game Over; }" /bin/sh -c ls
Game Over

b) the security fix is not pushed to all Macs by default.

Thanks,
