Given that Apple has dropped support for 10.6, and neglected to provide patches for the Shellshock and NTP vulnerabilities, others have had to step in and provide patches (and easy-peasy installers).
Any issues with these patches?

Can't really comment, other than I have been thinking about using an older MacBook running 10.6 as a simple file/web server, so I suppose I would want to make sure it was thoroughly patched. Can you provide any links to said patches?

I thought it was mentioned the version of bash in 10.6 did have the problem?

My server, arcade cabinet, and two old Macs being used as HTPCs thank you.
One tip: if you use one of these patches on a Hackintosh, don't forget to Repair Permissions after patching.
