I upgraded my old Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) server, but still the vulnerability seems to be there:
$ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo hello'
vulnerable
hello
How do I upgrade Bash to a newer version on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze)?

did you start a new bash shell?– AnthonSep 26, 2014 at 20:34

To get updates on older releases you will probably need to add the Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) LTS repository to your sources.list.
To add this repository, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line to the end of the file.
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze-lts main non-free contrib
Then run:
apt-get update
You should see some new sources in the list of repositories now as the update is running. Now just:
apt-get install --only-upgrade bash
Here is a listing of my sources.list file from a Squeeze server I just upgraded:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
# Other - Adding the lsb source for security updates
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free

OK, when I do this (with wheezy instead of squeeze), I get

1You have to do some more after adding the LTS source: wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using#Using_Debian_squeeze_.286.0.29_LTS– rubo77Sep 27, 2014 at 5:25

1the script you were using to test, seems to show always positive, see the issue in this alternative test: github.com/hannob/bashcheck/issues/6#issuecomment-57081774– rubo77Sep 28, 2014 at 19:31
You must use the squeeze-lts repository in order to continue receiving updates to Debian Squeeze
To add this repository, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze-lts main non-free contrib
(you can remove non-free and contrib if desired)
To update only bash, after running apt-get update use apt-get install bash to install just bash, instead of a complete upgrade.
