Hello Jason,
When you deploy the virtual appliance initially, you are asked to give a password for the root. You need to log in to the appliance using root as username and the password you created.
Once logged into the virtual appliance, at the root prompt type yum update. It will automatically update. Screenshot is attached below (I hope it is readable).
You can check your system after the patch update to check its vulnerability using the following command on the command line:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
The patched system will output the following::
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test
I hope this is more clear.
Regards,
B

Hi,
Be sure to type the command exactly. Adding or removing a space will cause the command not to run properly. In the below example the first time I ran the command I added a space between x=' () and the system returned this is a test. The second time I remove the space and the system reported it was vulnerable and this is a test since I have not run yum update yet.
