Subject: Thoughts on Shellshock and beyond
Hi,
Yesterday I wrote down some thoughts on Shellshock, Heartbleed and the
whole issue of free software security:
https://blog.hboeck.de/archives/857-How-to-stop-Bleeding-Hearts-and-Shocking-Shells.html
Basically my key point is: These events caused interest in the sec
community and people had a look - and found further issues.
My question would be: Can we get that attention somehow *before* an
event like shellshock happens? We probably all could name products that
could have sec bugs with similar severity.
I outlined a vague idea: Would it work if we'd say we make a "sec
people, please have a look at software XY"-day? Would people do that?
Heartbleed and Shellshock give me the feeling that there probably are,
right now, security bugs with simliar severity active on our systems.
Let's have a discussion how we can find them.
cu,
