How do I check if my Linux server or desktop machine is vulnerable?

[Priya Dialani]

Thanks for the share. Even I wanted to know the same. Is the above mentioned solution the only way to check vulnerability? Are there any other ways as well?

The following command may help you to analyse the vulnerability of your Linux server

env VAR='() { :;}; echo Bash is vulnerable!’ bash -c “echo Bash Test”

In the event that you see the following output, your system is vulnerable:

Bash is vulnerable!

Bash Test
You should then take the essential steps to shield your server by applying the newest Bash patch.
