McAfee: Ooops, We Patched It
McAfee claims to have “accidentally” patched a major vulnerability in their EPO management server agents.
“We did not realize that we had fixed a security vulnerability until eEye alerted us to the problem last week,” Viega said. “We were optimizing the system, not looking for security vulnerabilities.” The optimization included changing from storing data in files to storing it in memory, which removed the flaw, he said.
It’s bad enough when security vendors have vulnerabilities in their product. It’s even worse when they don’t realize there were fixing a flaw.
Of course the real irony is that eEye is a McAfee competitor. If only McAfee had a division that discovers vulnerabilities in applications… Oh wait, they do.
Exelent! Good work! Visit my sites, please:
