Who created the name "shellshock"? And when? I can't seem to find anything: * Stéphane Chazelas proposed "bashdoor" on 2014-09-14 14:29:48 +0100, but this did not catch on. (http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/92). * Robert Graham (Errata Softwre) posted "Update: I think people are calling this the "shellshock" bug. Still looking for official logo" ( http://blog.erratasec.com/2014/09/bash-bug-as-big-as-heartbleed.html ). This wording suggests that is reporting what OTHERS call it, and not a name he gave himself. * Andreas Lindh tweeted a proposed image for "shellshock, but this was in response to Robert Graham's "official logo" request - so this is DEFINITELY not the source of the name.
