OpenSSL Security Vulnerability

Posted by michael on from the what-me-worry dept.

SiliconEntity writes "On the heels of multiple OpenSSH vulnerabilities, the OpenSSL project is now reporting a number of security vulnerabilities of its own. OpenSSL is a standard cryptographic library used in a wide variety of security applications. The new vulnerabilities range from denial-of-service attacks to stack corruption, which imply the possibility of running malicious code. New versions of the software are released today which address the vulnerabilities."

    With all these holes in OpenSSH and OpenSSL, it's safe to say that OpenBSD is as OPEN as Windows!!

  2. Blame Microsoft by QuietYou · · Score: 1, Troll

    Blame Microsoft... I bet they have "moles" in the open source community intentionally creating these vulnerabilities to deflect some attention away from the problems with their own software.

    BTW, I can find a MS conspiracy theory in anything, ex. the moderator that MODs this post down is a MS fanboy.
