Re: Patch incoming in... 3,2,1

"The flaw finders have developed and distributed a patch for this serious error, but that's still going to leave a lot of servers unpatched – and the exploit only requires one end of the communicators to be unpatched for the hack to work."

@Ropewash: I suspect that the 'fudslingers' will not be too voluble: see the first part of the quote from OA above. The BSD fixie riders might manage a smug smile.

The real question is how do we siphon off some small fractions of a % of the beelions that large Internet companies have made (annually) using software that has been written and distributed freely - the money to be used for the purpose of software audit and code checking?
