| All comments on news story: Debian Linux Suffers From 'Major Security Flaw,' Gartner Warns | | It's a reply to comment: |
| | can Gartner get its facts straight? |
by: pinniped |
"Gartner said the security glitch can be traced to the fact that Debian developers implemented changes to OpenSSL to fix a memory leak without first consulting the OpenSSL development community."
I'd find out who at Gartner said that and tell them to look for a new job; it's just plain wrong. It wasn't a memory leak, some silly person thought they'd force the preprocessor to skip over a line which they thought was using memory without initializing it. Sure the memory wasn't initialized, but that's the way it was intended to work.
