OpenSSL Security Update Less Critical Than Expected, Still Recommended
An anonymous reader writes As announced on Monday, the OpenSSL project team has released new versions of the cryptographic library that fix a number of security issues. The announcement created a panic within the security community, who were dreading the discovery of another Heartbleed-type bug, but as it turns out, the high severity issue fixed is a bug than can be exploited in a DoS attack against servers. Other issues fixed are mostly memory corruption and DoS flaws of moderate and low severity.
Another day, another security hole in open sores software.
No, I don't use Micro$hit software either.
Are you kidding me? There's holes in open source software, there's holes in closed source software, there's holes in every piece of software. What else is new? There's no need to degenerate to terms like "Micro$hit" or "open sores". It doesn't make you sound witty, it makes you sound like someone 16 years of age, and it's embarrassing to see this on a site that is supposedly for adults. The sooner all this pathetic name calling stops, the sooner we can actually discuss the core issue at hand. Assuming, of course, that you even understand what the hell the article is talking about, and I'm not entirely sure either of you do.
