Re: VUPEN Security Research - Adobe Flash Player RTMP Data Processing Object Confusion (CVE-2013-2555)

I am just saying that developers and designers make mistakes and
that there is no getting around that. Rather than relying on the
benevolent 0day researchers from the sky publicly disclosing their
vulnerabilities, more responsible QA testing within the company will
prevent many of these vulnerabilities from occurring in the first
place. Or do you have a better idea?

   Let me expand on that, otherwise I'm sure it's unclear.
   Is your suggestion, to remove the worry of developers making mistakes, to
   add another human process after it and rely on this to remove all
   mistakes?

     Yes, after the people that can make mistakes, we should have people that
     are incapable of making mistakes. I totally agree, what a good idea.

       The code monkeys can make mistakes as long as there is a process to
       detect and remedy their mistakes before things get shipped. Hiring
       decent application security researchers to audit their code would be a
       good start.
