Episode 291 - Everyone sucks at vulnerability disclosure

Josh and Kurt talk about recent events around Apple and Microsoft disclosing security vulnerabilities.

None of this is simple, but hopefully you’ll have some fun and learn a bit about the whole vulnerability disclosure process. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/opensourcesecuritypodcast/Episode_291_Everyone_sucks_at_vulnerability_disclosure.mp3 Show Notes Apple 0days Microsoft Exchange flaw THIS IS HOW THEY TELL ME THE WORLD ENDS Linux Foundation Vulnerability Disclosure Timezone problem
