So, as the parent suggests, start from the beginning targeting multi-platform in your design stages. A small amount of extra effort in the beginning will save you a large amount of work down the road. And your apps will be less buggy.

Outside of malicious HTTP headers landing in environment variable in CGI land, I'm hard pressed to think of another reasonable vector for this bug to be a problem...

This means that web apps written in languages such as PHP, Python, C++, or Java, are likely to be vulnerable if they ever use libcalls such as popen() or system(), all of which are backed by calls to

Another good overview is here.
Reports on the latest Bash bug have gone from bad to worse, as damage from the bug spreads and many early patches are proving ineffective. Unlike Heartbleed, Bash attacks allow for remote code execution, allowing an attacker to exploit the vulnerability for malware distribution. Most attacks from the bug will target web servers and network devices, with experts saying that PHP-based web applications will be particularly vulnerable. Connected devices like smart appliances are also expected to be vulnerable in the long-term, since the devices are often slow to be patched, but early reports indicate an alarming number of systems may be at risk. As Kaspersky Lab's David Jacoby put it, "the real scale of the problem is not yet clear."...
...And what does it have to do with technology?
I've been noticing a trend in many of the articles that make it to the front page here. The trend is towards more inflammatory political-oriented articles that have little or only a marginal relation to technology.
