--- Comment #2 from D. Stussy <[email protected]> ---
Maybe so, but regardless of the fix in BASH, the Apache HTTPD server should
still not be passing the value to a(ny) command interpreter - and THAT is a bug
in this software.

Relying on a patch in software under different authorship is akin to "security
via obscurity" -- it is NOT a fix.  The HTTPD server is cooperating with
another program to cause the exploit, which means that BOTH programs should be
fixed, even if fixing the other by itself closes the exploit.
