Shellshock makes Heartbleed look insignificant

Somehow there always seems to be another Internet security disaster around the corner. A few months ago everyone was in a panic about Heartbleed.

Now the bug, Shellshock (officially CVE-2014-6271), a far more serious vulnerability, is running uncontrolled over the Internet. It's never a good time to panic, but if you're discouraged I don't blame you; I know I am.
