Master Class: Life Cycle of an Open Source Vulnerability - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The world of software development has firmly adopted open source development paradigms. Regardless of the type of application you’re developing, it’s safe to say that open source is a key part of your solution—whether you wanted it to be or not. Similarly, developers deal with security issues in their code throughout the development cycle, but most don’t think about how open source components affect the security of their end product. In this master class, we’ll look at how open source development works, how open source components are embedded in solutions, and how an open source vulnerability is both disclosed and patched. After all, while open source software is just as secure as its commercial cousins, the security disclosure processes for the two types of software is far from the same!
