[Dailydave] The Week of Oracle Database Bugs

[Joel Eriksson]

If that's the case, the threat to US National Security is there
regardless of if Cesar releases a couple of his 0days or not.

Actually, it might even put some pressure on Oracle to start
taking security seriously, which would be a huge favor to
their customers.

Vulnerabilities are often known and (ab)used long before they
are publicly known. It's the existence of a security bug that
is the real danger, not whether the bug is known by the public
at large, by a small group or by noone (so far). Actually, the
bug can do far more damage during the time it's known only by
a few.
