Patch 025 fixes CVE-2014-6271, but does NOT fix CVE-2014-7169 or possibly two 
other issues people are currently looking into.  (None of this is confidential 
BTW..  you can all follow along on the oss-security mailing list.)

So I would recommend that someone get the 025 patch (don't forget to patch bash 
3.2 as well) in.. and we should wait until their is an official one for 7169.
