Comment on Fixing Shellshock new critical remote bash shell exploitable vulnerability on Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS / RHEL / Fedora / OpenSuSE and Slackware by admin.
Here is few interesting things regarding the “ShellShock” Vulnerability extracted from David A. Wheeler paper:
The probability of vulnerability was somewhat less on Debian and Ubuntu, because their default non-interactive shell is dash (which was not vulnerable) instead of bash, but there were still cases where they could be vulnerable. One point of confusion about Debian and Ubuntu is that their default interactive shell is bash, while their default non-interactive shell is dash, and it is primarily the non-interactive shell (aka /bin/sh) that matters in the shellshock vulnerability. Similarly, Apple MacOS does not use bash in many circumstances, but there were cases where it could be vulnerable. Android systems use Linux but normally use the MirBSD (mksh) shell, which was not vulnerable.

–rwo, –report-warnings-only
This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
be used to force other items of information to be displayed.
–sk, –skip-keypress
When the –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.

As rkhunter check, can be pretty annoying and ask you to press keypresses multiple times and spit you a lot of unnecessery data a very good useful option arguments are:
