Amazon's Linux distro for EC2 is still waiting for a patch.

EDIT: Finally got things updated. Bulletin can be found here: https://alas.aws.amazon.com/ALAS-2014-418.html

If yum isn't finding the update, try running "yum clean all" and then "yum update bash"



Still waiting for a fix on Beanstalk. Neither "yum clean all" followed by "yum update bash" nor "yum --releasever=2014.09 update bash" currently work.

EDIT: relevant AWS threads

Should be fixed now:

To manually update EC2 instances managed by Elastic Beanstalk, you can run the following command:

For Amazon Linux 2013.09 "sudo yum install -y http://packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/2013.09/updates/556c...

For Amazon Linux 2014.03 "sudo yum install -y http://packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/2014.03/updates/e10f...


If yum still doesn't find it, you may be on an older release. Try "yum --releasever=2014.09 update bash"


I'm considering pulling an rpm from elsewhere until they have this in place.


It's updated now
