If you read this link CVE-2014-6271 , This will give you a glimpse on the shellshock bug.

You can simply test if your system is vulnerable by running

If your terminal output is “x“, then your system is vulnerable. 

Solution: it is highly recommended that you upgrade your bash.

When compiling kannel to my Raspberry pi, I got this error during my "make" command.

Error:
Makefile:229: recipe for target 'gwlib/log.o' failed

Solution: 

1.Edit log.c file /usr/local/src/gateway-1.4.3/gwlib

gwlib/log.c:434
     if (arg == NULL)   //orig
     if (&args == NULL) {  //corrected

2.Then recompile kannel from source

That's it!
