Bikeshedding? Really? A member of a mailing list for *security* software thinks it's *bikeshedding* to insist on an accurate description, assessment, and analysis of a *security* issue? Sheesh. I guess maybe I should have taken this discussion over to oss-security or fulldisclosure. > just because of an annoyed > fella that didnât like the description of the CVE. Cry me a river whiny > boy! Annoyed? Absolutely. Whiny? Please. Grumpy maybe, but whiny no. And it's not "didn't like" as in "I don't like the color red", it's "inaccurate" as in "completely misleading and misusing technical terminology with a standard definition in the security community". > Can we get back to work now?

Nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to read it, if you don't actually care about the underlying details of the bugs fixed in a new version you already updated to, feel free to skim on past. I guess you don't have a very rigorous testing process if you've already dropped this into production in a couple days. I haven't updated my CAS deployments because, well, this crappy conversation demonstrated quite clearly I didn't need to. -- Paul B.
