I found it curious that the journalist refers to the bug as a "vulnerability". This is could be misinterpreted given that's a term is more commonly used in a security context.
- GigabyteCoin 11y ago>journalist There's your answer right there. They write stories for a living, not programs.
- smsm42 11y agoSome journalists still care to acquire correct terminology. If somebody is reporting from the court and call somebody accused of car theft "murderer" because you don't know the difference between the two, they'd probably get laughed at.
- digi_owl 11y agoI guess somehow they got the idea that someone could breach the firewall between the entertainment system and the flight controls, and insert a bogus entry in the right spot to trigger this. Frankly with all the scaremongering going on with computer security these days i kinda agree with Torvalds policy of not highlighting security fixes in Linux patch notes.
