Yes, here's a list.  I lose track of the CVE IDs myself.

bash43-025      CVE-2014-6271                           9/24/2014
bash43-026      CVE-2014-7169                           9/26/2014
bash43-027      exported function namespace change      9/27/2014
bash43-028      CVE-2014-7186/CVE-2014-7187             10/1/2014
bash43-029      CVE-2014-6277                           10/2/2014

There is still one more, for CVE-2014-6278, that I have to do some minor
work on before rolling out patches.
