Well said by Shakthi sir. As long as there are softwares there should be
bugs. But the main thing is they get reported and fixed and this is known

+1. That's the beauty of F/OSS (at least in my sense). Publicly exposed
vulnerabilities and publicly fixed so no need to fear.

Recently, there was similar news regarding Apple Yosemite OS issue and
other proprietary software companies and irony is no one came out publicly
and admit about these issues.
