Did you miss the "local" part?
AzuMao | 09/09/09

|
LOL! I can't stop laughing
Loverock Davidson | 08/17/09
|
|
It is patched now..
eqpc | 08/17/09
|
|
Not acceptable for Windows. So it's not acceptable for Linux.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
Agreed
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09

Just pointing out the hypocrissy.

I completely agree with you.

Exactly

So you admit...
jasonp@... | 08/17/09

I admit no such thing.

Though commendable...

Have you recently suffered a blow to the head?
James T. Kirk | 08/17/09

|
Nice one Jason!
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09
|
|
No, it is only patched in the source tree so far
honeymonster | 08/17/09

Thanks for the info
eqpc | 08/17/09

Not quite.
Zogg | 08/17/09

LOL - good one
JT82 | 08/17/09

So you needn't even wait for the vendor to catch up ...
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09
|
|
Strange
Loverock Davidson | 08/17/09
|
|
Um you dont now how OSS works do you?

You're thinking of BSD
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
That is the advantage of BSD over linux
Loverock Davidson | 08/17/09
|
|
No it's optional. That means non-mandatory, ie, you have the choice.
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09
|
|
Not strange
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09
|
|
Linux IS more secure.
Jabryl | 08/17/09

no it is not
Loverock Davidson | 08/17/09

Source?
Jabryl | 08/17/09
|
|
Do I need one?
Loverock Davidson | 08/17/09
|
|
You will have to do better than that.
Jabryl | 08/17/09
|
|
Better? I dont' think so
Loverock Davidson | 08/17/09
|
|
You provided nothing.
Jabryl | 08/17/09

Get used to...

Exploitable in all Linux distros at least since 2001

Many eyes
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
If we have to wait 8 years for many eyes
honeymonster | 08/17/09
|
|
Well then you must have a better model in mind
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
The point being "many eyes" isn't any better.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
If "many eyes" is the only thing being relied on
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
I've seen nothing to support that many eyes adds any benefit.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
Ye - Its 6 or 1, half dozen of the other.
JT82 | 08/17/09
|
|
@JT82: "Many Eyes" has nothing to do with quick patching.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
@YE: "Many eyes"
JT82 | 08/17/09
|
|
@JT82: It's your opinion eight years is a good metric?
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
@YE: Well how do we know how long
JT82 | 08/17/09
|
|
@JT82: There is third party tracking of some bugs.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
@YE: But I wouldnt discount it either..
JT82 | 08/17/09
|
|
@JT82: With an eight year old bug I can't put...
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
@ye... Eight years
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
@Michael Kelly: I conclude no such thing.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
Sigh, as predictable and trite as usual, ye.
Zogg | 08/17/09
|

How do you know?
jasonp@... | 08/17/09

An eight year old bug.

Bizarre post

What protocols are affected?
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
I believe the advisory gave a list
Zogg | 08/17/09

|
"Many eyes does not work"
Aussie_Troll | 08/17/09
|
|
It already is big time
Michael Kelly | 08/17/09
|
|
Ehh, arguable
gnesterenko | 08/17/09
|
|
Yeah do so, and see if anyone can see your point?
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09
|
|
Probably
gnesterenko | 08/17/09
|
|
Linux has never relied solely on "many eyes".
Zogg | 08/17/09
|
|
The big time? Like running the most targeted sites on the net?
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09
|
|
lol true

JT82 | 08/17/09

Yet...
TylerM89 | 08/17/09

JT82 | 08/17/09

True

If thats how you want to take it
JT82 | 08/17/09

Obscurity is in reference to market share and not...
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
AHhhhh..but i never brought that up..
JT82 | 08/17/09
|
|
I never said you did bring it up.
ye | 08/17/09
|
|
Server market share?
fr0thy2 | 08/17/09

No, all those nasty hackers
