While those who report the bugs should first seek to notify and work with the software firm to resolve the flaw, One researcher commented: "All researchers should follow responsible disclosure guidelines, but if a vendor like Microsoft takes six months to a year to fix a flaw, a researcher has every right to release the details." Should the onus be on the software firm to manage each issue and the relationship well, or does it fall to the morally responsible user?"http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot?m=407 |
