This was linked off of slashdot. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/26/security_researcher_versus_oracle/ "Oracle has taken a significant amount of criticism for its handling of software security issues. Last week, the database giant released a critical patch update (CPU) that fixed at least 82 flaws. Two of the flaws apparently took more than 800 days to fix. That's nothing new - last year, researchers took the company to task for taking more than 650 days to publish a fix for a security issue." I'm all for giving plenty of time to fix a flaw, but 650-800 days is a little crazy.... - z http://www.cgisecurity.com/ Website Security News and More! http://www.cgisecurity.com/index.rss [RSS Feed] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This List Sponsored by: Watchfire Watchfire's AppScan is the industry's first and leading web application security testing suite, and the only solution to provide comprehensive remediation tasks at every level of the application.
