While some people do use it for bash, updating bash with Homebrew doesn't protect their entire system from shellshock (which my team tested and identified today). What Homebrew does is simply install these packages and makes them available to the user. A lot of people use it to manage mysql, python, and (as you could have guessed) bash. Homebrew is a package management system for Mac. Like I said, I am a new to all this on a Mac, but I do have programming experience. Or, since I am using OS X 10.6.8, do I need to download Bash code from somewhere and compile it using XCode 3.2.6 (or 4.2 if I paid for it) and manually replace the /bin/bash and /bin/sh files?
Follow steps in How do I upgrade Bash in Mac OSX Mountain Lion and set it the correct path?. Install XCode 3.2.6 (I'm currenlty downloading the 4.1 GB install file now). So, what steps (from scratch) do I need to do to be able to install a fixed version of bash for OS X 10.6.8? I'm just getting into doing programming on a Max OS X platform.ītw, when I type brew update in terminal I get this output: $ brew update I have read this Q&A - How do I upgrade Bash in Mac OSX Mountain Lion and set it the correct path? but it doesn't work for me because I don't have brew (or Xcode, or any compiler, etc) installed. I am purposely using 10.6.8, so I don't want to update to a newer version of OS X right now. I want to update my Bash (and Sh) programs in my Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), in light of the recent bugs to bash - Shellshock.
