If you are running dd-wrt on your router, your router is OK because it does not use the Bourne shell. It uses BusyBox.

Got rid of my Cisco running dd-wrt, and now using Apple Time Capsule 802.11ac. Hopefully not a problem.

I thought this bug affected bash, not sh? Or is this a bug that's made it's way into several shells, being misreported by the press?
