ShellShock, or Bash Bug, is a nickname for the bug in the Bash (Bourne-again Shell) command line interpreter, also known as a shell. Bash is software that has been around since 1989 and is used to control the command prompt on a variety of Unix-based systems, including Linux and Mac OS X, basically telling your computer what you want it to do. With this latest bug, outsiders could take control of the affected device to install programs or run commands. However, there are multiple types of command shells, so even if Bash is installed, the system could actually be using a different one.
If you currently use any Avocent or Liebert products through Emerson Network Power, know that they have been auditing their systems since the bug was discovered and are keeping an up-to-date log of their status. They have listed out any Avocent and Liebert branded product families that contain Bash and are providing updates for each of those products, including ones that are not directly exposed to the bug vulnerability.
To stay on top of all the updates, please go to Emerson Network Powers ShellShock Vulnerability Updates page.

KVM Streamlines Remote Server Management
For 3,000 machines, remote server management is easier than managing locally, but for business intelligence software company SAS, wrestling with multiple management interfaces was only marginally helpful.
...Reducing the divorce rate
Do not underestimate the power of remote server management, warned Dennis Drogseth, a vice president and analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. Marx, for example, says that he can now sit at his desk, perform remote server management tasks like installing software or doing a reboot, and all while checking email. But Drogseth said the benefits extend further, especially for IT staffers on call at odd hours.
...VMware support breaks the tie
According to Drogseth, there are two major players in the KVM management space: Avocent and Raritan, both of which SAS evaluated closely.
Avocent already had the edge in Marx's mind because SAS was already using Avocent's KVM switches. Still, the company went through a two- to three-month evaluation, and Marx said he prefers Avocent's roadmap. He thought Avocent seemed to be more on top of the game in terms of various vendors' remote console access methods. He was also encouraged by Avocent's ability to manage virtual VMware servers as well as physical devices. So, about a year ago, SAS settled on Avocent's digital switches and its DSView 3 management software.
