MATLAB: What is MathWorks’ response to the Shellshock vulnerability

MATLABshellshocksimulinkTarget Support Package

The Shellshock security vulnerability was disclosed on September 24, 2014. How does the Shellshock software bug affect MathWorks products?

Best Answer

MathWorks products such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Toolboxes do not contain the Bash shell and are not affected by the Shellshock vulnerability.
The Raspberry Pi v14.2 hardware support package contained a vulnerable version of the Bash shell and was fixed on October 1, 2014.
The Beagle Board hardware support package contained a vulnerable version of the Bash shell and was fixed on November 17, 2014.
Support packages for PandaBoard (v14.2) and Gumstix (v14.2) contain vulnerable versions of the Bash shell. The default configuration of these support packages does not expose this vulnerability to a network connection. We recommend running these devices inside of a trusted network or behind a firewall. We will update these packages as updated software is available.
