  1. Impressive List & Response by goldid · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd just like to note how good the response is. The list of vulnerabilities is well stated and very complete. Furthermore, the time line of events is excellent and patching was superb and fast. My OS X box was patched before I even knew about the vulnerability. Thanks to iDEFENSE and zen-parse.
