Sorry in advance for noobing up this thread, but can you clarify this? As a Mac OS X user who connects to public wifi often, I'm still in the dark about whether I should literally turn off my wifi for now.. or am I safe?

The problem comes about if your mac is serving web pages. If you aren't then there is less worry.

I think even just using DHCP put your Mac at risk: https://www.trustedsec.com/september-2014/shellshock-dhcp-rc...

That is true, if you don't control where the Mac can contact a DHCP server.
