10-Day Patch Guarantee Not Mozilla's Policy

Posted by kdawson on from the pajama-party-policy dept.

narramissic writes "Mozilla has officially backpedaled from a pledge made at Black Hat by the company's director of ecosystem development, Mike Schaver, to fix any critical security bugs in the browser within 'Ten ****ing Days.' On Friday, Mozilla security chief Window Snyder wrote in a blog posting that the 10-day pledge is not Mozilla's policy, saying 'We do not think security is a game, nor do we issue challenges or ultimatums.' And today, the open source browser maker issued a statement retracting the pledge."

    I think we should be more concerned that the head of Mozilla Security is a Windows Nyder. Nyder is a phonetic anglicization of "Najder" which is the Welsh word for snake.
