If it is known, it can be fixed.
Indeed.
What I find telling is that the major players seem to have gone to ground or climbed into a hole in the wall:
"US-CERT advised computer users to obtain operating systems updates from software makers [since] ... Linux providers including Red Hat Inc had already prepared them, but it did not mention an update for OS X."
And then, "Apple representatives could not be reached", nor could "Officials with [the non-profit Free Software Foundation, producers of Bash] ... be reached for comment."
