How Linux Kernel Development Impacts Security
- mtgx 11y ago> At CoreOS Fest, Greg Kroah-Hartman, maintainer of the Linux kernel, declares that almost all bugs can be security issues. That sounds like the opposite of Linus' thinking, which is "security bugs are no worse than any other type of bug." They may sound similar, but one implies that most bugs can be dangerous, while the other implies that security bugs are not dangerous.
