Big props to everyone on this bash question for understanding that everyone has a slightly different use case, but that the use of edits and comments can really refine the posts and be helpful to an extremely wide audience.

Q: How do I recompile Bash to avoid Shellshock (the remote exploit CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169)?

AlBlueGiven that Bash 3.2 (the version shipped by OSX) is vulnerable to the remote execution exploit known as "Shell Shock" (CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169) how do I rebuild Bash and secure my system ahead of an official Apple patch?

Thanks in no particular order @alblue
