Does anyone think it might be related to the recent bash bug? It even affects dhcp clients which is a case with aws. https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-cr...

That would be...pathetic, at best. There's a Xen bug that's being embargoed 'till 2014-10-01. I think that's more likely.

The bash bug does not require a system restart. In fact, it can be updated without shutting down the running bash processes, as the vulnerability only affects new shells.

It is unrelated. This is a Xen patch.
