I struggle with this sometimes too! So often I read the report and I'm left wondering if I should panic or not, so I start reading comments here and elsewhere to figure out if I need to get this patched OMG RIGHT NOW or I can hold off until the weekend.
I would LOVE a clear "should I do emergency patching? yes/no" it seems like it would be frequently (maybe not always?) something that could be added to an announcement.
- jvehent 11y agoThat's what your local security team should be for ;) At Mozilla, we track those and inform the various ops teams of our assessments. They very much rely on us to decide if it warrants emergency patching or not (modulo operational concerns to upgrade systems outside maintenance windows).
- detaro 11y agoNot so great an option if the closest thing to a "local security team" is the sysadmin asking the question ;)
- tokenizerrr 11y agoThat's great. Now what about smaller companies which have one, maybe two sysadmins?
