I will admit that I am far from an advanced user of Apache.  So for now I think 
I will hold off on trying to create the module.  Is it safe to assume that a 
fix/patch/upgrade will become available to address the shellshock vulnerability?

Thanks,
Sharon

No, you don't need to upgrade anything.  Just build the module.
with your existing 2.2.x or 2.4.x.  Maybe even 2.0.x: I haven't tried!
If you don't know how, the tool you need is apxs, and the server docs explain 
how to use it.

You should also be aware that if you're not accustomed to getting
your hands dirty, you might find it too 'bleeding edge'.   I just had a
bug report a few hours ago and have yet to find time to investigate.
