When a job posting states "bachelor's degree required" but no specific major is stated, does that mean any major fufills that requirement?

Absolutely. A Gender Studies degree is just as good as Computer Science.

Your mileage may vary depending on the sanity of your employer.

I assume we're talking HR as opposed to the hiring manager.

Only time I got out of talking with the hiring manager or other technical people is when I was talking to the staffing agency prior to any interviews with the clients.

My History degree has never seemed to be a hindrance even when they specifically ask for a CS degree. It usually gets glossed over as a curious little anecdote during the interview.

Yes it most likely implies any bachelor degree. I went on a few interviews where they ask for a 4 year degree and they knew I had a non-related degree to technology and they still called me into an interview. Once you think about it, it's kind of weird but it works so whatever.

But wait, you might get asked why did you major in this degree when you want to be in technology field so be prepared to answer that if they ask.

From my experience it means any bachelors degree unless they state otherwise.
