If that was the case, why not fix the bug and then tell everybody to upgrade to the new fixed version ASAP?

- hack37 12y agoby fixing the bug you tell everybody what/where the bug is and if anybody has a copy of someone else encrypted disk (think external backup, amazon etc..) they can decrypt it.
- skolor 12y agoThat's effectively the same thing as releasing details of the bug. It would take time to take the patch and figure out the bug from it, but it would be fairly easily done for a determined attacker.
