Secure Programming in GNU/Linux Systems: Part I

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-safe-than-sorry dept.

LNXPhreak writes "A new article on OSWeekly.com discusses secure programming in GPU/Linux systems in terms of programming talent and requirements. Quote: "A "secure program" is an application that sits on a security boundary, taking input from a source that does not have the same access rights as the program. Such programs include application programs used as viewers of remote data, web applications (including CGI scripts), network servers, and setuid/setgid programs."

    Calling external applications which start and then exit, start and then exit, over and over again? What is this, the dark ages? Linux really needs to grow up if it expects to be taken seriously. What a joke.
