Josh Bressers, et al - Security

Abstract:

Getting security flaws fixed in Open Source software can be tricky and plain hard to do sometimes. The distributed nature of Open Source creates unique challenges with the coordination of security updates. This session will give researchers an idea of how to cooperate with the community, the community how to cooperate with researchers, and interested users an idea of what goes into those security updates they keep having to install.
