Oracle Zero-Day Flaw Project Cancelled

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the patches-not-so-welcome dept.

Benny Folds writes "Cesar Cerrudo of Argeniss has suddenly cancelled plans to release daily zero-day flaws in Oracle databases during the first week in December. Just days before the project was due to start, Cerrudo announced that 'due to many problems,' the WoODB (Week of Oracle Database Bugs) is being scrapped. He did not elaborate on the reasons for the cancellation."

    Seems like this was his plan from the beginning. I can't imagine he would risk his clients' security by releasing all these bugs ... he already got tons of publicity from /. and elsewhere.

    Consider the hostile position Oracle takes when it comes to publishing benchmark results, I would not at all be surprised if they had an even more hostile position regarding publishing vulnerabilities.
