ShellShock: For our customers, Could you please provide us a PATCH instead of going for an upgrade ?

Hi I have downloaded the patch and read the installation procedure:

I have a question on the Fallback scenario or Reverting to a previous hotfix version

 

I have read the article:

 

In BIG-IP 10.x, you no longer use a hotfix uninstall package to remove a hotfix installation. Instead, if you need to revert to the previous hotfix version, you can boot to the formerly active boot location containing the previous hotfix installation. For example, if you installed BIG-IP 10.2.2 HF3 on an inactive boot location from a 10.2.2 HF1 boot location and you want to revert from HF3 to HF1, you would boot back to the 10.2.2 HF1 boot location. To do so using the Configuration utility, browse to System > Software > Boot Locations and activate the desired boot location. //

 

But note that "10.2.2 HF1 boot location" is already CORRUPTED with HF3 . So in this case, I WON'T be having a good boot of "10.2.2 HF1" which I want.

 

Just for example:

 

Current boot image:

 

HD1.1 - title BIG-IP 10.1.0 Build 3341.0

 

Default boot image:

 

HD1.1 - title BIG-IP 10.1.0 Build 3341.0

 

Available boot image(s):

 

HD1.1 - title BIG-IP 10.1.0 Build 3341.0

 

HD1.2 - title BIG-IP 10.0.1 Build 354.0

 

 

Note that my current Boot image is HD1.1 and HD1.2 is the older version not in use. Now, I made HD1.1 as inactive and HD1.2 active and installed the hotfix. If I want to revert now to HD1.1 how can I do it? As, you see HD1.1 is already corrupted with the hotfix I installed just now. And HD1.2 is no longer in use and is in very old version which we were not using.

 

Please help me to figure this out.
