I posted the following on Bruce Schneier’s blog after reading about the latest brou-ha-ha over ‘potential 0-day exploits for Firefox‘
All software has bugs, that fact won’t change no matter how many times people audit their code. Big software, like Firefox, has LOTS of bugs, including bugs that no one has found yet.Why are people so surprised and appalled every time a “0-day” comes out? The researcher didn’t MAKE the bug, he just found one of likely many more.Want to see a list of bugs with code changes in the latest trunk of Firefox? Run this: http://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/mozdig.rb
It just seems like a worthless truism every time someone claims that a given body of code has bugs. Yeah, it does. Duh!
