Opera Screeches at Mozilla Over Security Disclosure

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the did-too-did-too dept.

The Register is reporting that Mozilla's handling of a recent security exploit that affected both browsers has drawn an unhappy response from the Opera team. "Claudio Santambrogio, an Opera desktop developer, said the Mozilla team notified it of a security issue only a day before publishing an advisory. This gave the Norwegian software developers insufficient time to make an evaluation. [...] Santambrogio goes on to attack Mozilla's handling of the issue, arguing that it places Opera users at unnecessary risk."

    Clearly, the Mozilla team should be performing full regression testing on every bug they fix against every browser known to man. What if the bug affects NCSA Mosaic?

    Hmm, there's something wrong with my sarcasmeter, it seems to be off the scale...
