Message-ID: <08DB0CA58DD08049AF4DE785EC2A857F0455F17B@cs17mail.bestbuy.com> From: Richard.Scott at BestBuy.com (Scott, Richard) Subject: RE: it's all about timing <snip> Only if the vendor does nothing in these weeks, only then the report/exploit/whatever should be made public. <snip> [RS] For those on the FULL DISCLOSURE list you can read the full thread on Bugtraq. The exploit is not the problem, it is truly related to the fact that vendors must notify clients directly if a vulnerability is found. Just because a security hole has been discovered does not mean other factors can not be used to mitigate risk. <snip> If hacker H writes a comment on Slashdot, making public an exploit against some software made by vendor V, and does not notify V in advance (say, 2...4 weeks in advance), and then V sues H, then who's right? <snip> [RS] If the vendor was aware for 2-4 weeks and failed to notify it's clients, yes.
