Students uncover dozens of Unix software flaws (News.com)Students uncover dozens of Unix software flaws (News.com)Posted Dec 17, 2004 15:46 UTC (Fri) by dlapine (subscriber, #7358)Parent article: Students uncover dozens of Unix software flaws (News.com)
Perhaps a better title would be "Students fail in attempt to meet class requirements to find 10 vulnerabilities per student in deployed any deployed unix code." I know that this title doesn't have the same ring, but maybe it's more relevant. When the entire class can only find 44 bugs in all deployed unix software, I'm wondering what they could do given access to the source for all Windows (TM) compatible packages... I'll also point out that some vulnerabilites they found are somewhat hard to trigger.
This does have some aspects of a publicity stunt, certainly in the extent that this as been reported.
