In case you weren't aware of following problem:
"Shellshock" is a vulnerability in GNU's bash shell that gives attackers access to run remote commands on a vulnerable system. If your system has not updated bash since Tue Sep 30 2014: 1:32PM EST, you're most definitely vulnerable and have been since first boot.
This sounds more scary than it most probably is. If you don't understand the above text, than probably you're on a system that isn't in danger. If you do, and haven't done anything so far, your system might be endangered.

From the Wikipedia entry for Shellshock (software bug):

"Apple Inc. commented that OS X systems are safe by default, unless users configure advanced UNIX services. Such advanced users are typically capable of turning the services off until a patch built using Xcode can be implemented."

Apple has posted a patch for Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks here
