Just a comment about this article http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11230 I haven't tried the Coverity tool mentined there but i think naming Oracle as a customer don't have any benefit, the first thing that comes to my mind is that the tool doesn't work well (i'm just describing the message i'm getting, i bet it is a really good tool). I think the marketing guys from that company should think what message the public is getting when naming some customers. It's like saying that the tool was used to audit Internet Explorer 5.X. Who cares Oracle is unbreakable. Cesar. --- "Aleksander P. Czarnowski" <alekc () avet com pl> wrote:
Actually a bit related - but instead of operating on binary level we have a source code analysis approach presented here: http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11230 The whole disclosure debate is similar to the one regarding exploit publication etc. and I don't get really get it. The only explanation I can see it that fact that 99,99 of people who flood such debates with emails are not capable of doing real research or programming but they still want to be part of game. Just 2 cents Cheers, Aleksander Czarnowski AVET INS-----Original Message----- From: Dave Aitel [mailto:dave () immunitysec com] Sent: 1 lipca 2005 16:37 To: dailydave Subject: [Dailydave] Moot choices, a sort of DDmedia partyReverse engineering patches making disclosure amoot choice?Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2005-07-01 When Microsoft released limited information on acriticalvulnerability in Internet Explorer last month,reverseengineer Halvar Flake decided to dig deeper....http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11235 My fav line: "Many people seem to pour time into the disclosure debate that should be spent elsewhere," [Halvar Flake] said.
