It looks like the version of bash on these phones is susceptible to the recently discovered "Shell Shock" bug. Is an updated version of bash going to be available for Sailfish soon, and, if not, how worried should I be?

I say no. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=93922

I'm afraid all Jolla users should be worried. See https://together.jolla.com/question/56822/bug-jolla-bash-shell-is-affected-by-the-shellshock-bug/ about availability of the fixes - it's rumored to appear in next version.

dsilveira ( 2014-09-25 15:13:51 +0300 )I don't see this as a duplicate. Asking if Jolla is affected is different from asking if we should be worried. (There's a very good chance that the Jolla phone is affected while there's no real reason to worry.)
