Nope just sit back, relax and have a beer, then do your system updates
In this video I discuss the over hyped vulnerability named ShellShock, and what you need to do about it as a home Linux user.

Test from: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-check-if-your-mac-or-linux-machine-is-vulnerable-1639211806

env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello'

If you're vulnerable you'll get:
vulnerable hello

If you're not vulnerable you'll get:
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt bash: error importing function definition for `x' hello
