Security Researcher Says Oracle Slow to Fix Flaw

Posted by Zonk on Thursday January 26, 2006 @05:31AM from the get-to-work-you-slackers dept.

Billosaur writes "A report by Robert Lemos of SecurityFocus in The Register states that Oracle is being criticized by David Litchfield of Next-Generation Security Software for failing to rapidly patch a known flaw in its database software. Litchfield had made Oracle aware of the flaw last October and is now taking them to task for their slow response to the exploit. Oracle, in turn, has attacked Litchfield: 'We are always disappointed when researchers feel the need to publish details of vulnerabilities before a fix is available... What David Litchfield has done is put our customers at risk.'"

You either misunderstand on purpose or not, but as you've suddenly skewed into the political arena at the 12th word of that sentence, I suggest you re-read the subject line and consider how you're under that blanket, too.

No no no, you don't get to tell me I "misunderstand" because I called you on your veiled political swipes that had NOTHING to do with the discussion.
