3 October 2014 - Shellshock bug 2

What, it’s called the Bourne Again Shell and they didn’t realize it was flaky? But don’t blame programmers too much. For decades, one of their major goals has been to reuse software, including software written by a summer intern in 1975. Only much later did the internet tell us (and we still aren’t listening) that it didn’t matter how famous the intern later became, the path to computer security lies in having less software.
