ShellShock and T4 firmware

What are the chances that the T4 is running bash somewhere in the service processor or something, and is going to need a firmware upgrade for the ShellShock vulnerability?

I wonder because I see in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/bashcve-2014-7169-2317675.html certain SPARC Service Processors in the M10 and M*000 series have been identified and waiting a fix.

I'm more curious than anything, since I'd rather wait for a firmware release including any fix than go through an extra patch cycle!  If I recall, the T4 has a Linux-ish OS for the Service Processor.

Howdy, Stranger!
