is there a patch against “Shell Shock” for my system MacOS 10.6.8 bash version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0)

Hi all, someone out there knows about the ShellShock bug that can affect our Macs?
I read some articles and I found some patch in apple but just for Mac OS 10.9.
My Mac is running OS 10.6.8 and I don't find anything about it nor info, neither a patch, but I'm a little bit worried about it.
So my questions are
1.- Do I really need to worried about this bug? My Mac is not a server, and of course is alwasy connected to the internet.
2.- If the answer is "yes you need to be worried" ant of you knows how to solve this problem?

I found this page, that had a scrip in bash that the author suggest that you run if the test for vulnerability is positive, I run the test and I get "vulnerable" , so I run the bash script but nothing change.

I really don't know how to use bash or shel properly, so I'm blind at this moment, and of course I don't want to be hacked in any way.

Thanks for your help

ClassicHasClass has a pre-built current version of bash available with instructions at his blog -- http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2014/09/bashing-bash-one-more-time-updated.html

It works for 10.4 through 10.9 (universal) - updating to bash version 4.3.28.

As long as you know how to change directly (cd) in the Terminal to the directory (folder) to where the downloaded file is, the instructions are very complete and easy to follow.

He also makes a few notes on whether or not the update is necessary.
