I don't think so. From what I've been reading it can be exploited via http requests. I'm sure a metasploit script is right around the corner.

Edit: oh looks like only like mod_cgi related stuff is.. thats good then sort of

It can potentially be exploited via anything that shells out to bash with an environment that contains environment variables with values (that ultimately comes from) an untrusted source.

mod_cgi is just one of the most obvious attack vectors.

Any software where adversary-controlled input can set environment variables which then execs bash is affected. mod_cgi is just really easy to exploit.
