Summary
In this episode, Theori’s Brian Pak and Andrew Wesie join James Wilson to discuss why the CopyFail exploit was publicly disclosed before Linux distributions had their patches ready. As you’ll hear in this episode, mistakes were made and lessons learned. It’s worth a podcast, too, because in our opinion this incident foreshadows the inevitable problems that open source software will face in the unfolding vulnpocalypse.
