Red Hat

Hi

i want to update the BASH because of the "shell shock" vulnerability.
my RedHat 5 is clean install with the default mirror site.
when im running the command: yum update bash
im getting a message saying there is no update. you can see in the attach picture...

what am i doing wrong? is the default FTP site for update does not contain the new bash? what mirror site address do i need to update?

Thanks
Guy

Perform a `yum clean all' and try again.

You may need to rhn-register the box again... check you subscriptions through your account at Red Hat's website.

You can't (officially) update an RHEL box without a subscription.

I registered the machine and run the yum update bash and it is installed!
thanks a lot!

how do I unregister this machine, because it was only for testing purpose...

Thanks
Guy
