. . . I'm optimistic that the typical time between bug discovery and widespread bug fixing may drop from years to months. Maybe even, with work, to weeks. Once lots of people are exploiting the bug, I think keeping it out of system administrators' hands changes from well-intentioned foolishness to seriously irresponsible, destructive behavior. This, as best I recall, is why the bugtraq list was started.
Right. And Pauls point was that having CERT is better than not having CERT. It fills a function, but not the function that bugtraq fills. Bashing CERT isn't part of bugtraqs function. Maybe we need to require all postings to report an open hole. :-) ObBugReport: NIS.
