With all the attention today to the Shellshock vulnerability, I need a place to keep track of it for my own purposes. If this page or list helps anyone else, that’s great, but this is primarily a tool for me to capture what’s going on. I intend to be updating it regularly while this is all happening. Suggestions are of course welcome in comments.
Note that I have links here to discussion threads on Hacker News. The comment threads are often fully of incredibly useful information.
