Which just leads us back to the never ending question.. Which came first, the exploit or the patch? :-).
OK, I know the answer before everyone jumps on this.... For OSS often it's the patch, and for proprietary it's almost always the exploit.. Cheers, Me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zane Gilmore" Although the patch is not a formal one I think that this shows one of the most wonderful things about open-source software. No sooner has someone found a problem with the software then the fix is up within hours for someone who might be desperate for the fix. This is unattainable by most proprietary shops probably even M$. There is probably very little chance that an exploit can be written before the fix.
