This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig14A246A22C6231A0328C3E14 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I got a link to this article via ACM TechNews:=20 http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=3D205600= 229&%0Acid=3DRSSfeed_IWK_All """ Linux came in with far fewer defects than average as did a number of=20 other open source projects. The version 2.6 of the Linux kernel had a=20 security bug rate of .127 per thousand lines of code. The kernel scan=20 covered 3,639,322 lines of code. As exposures were identified by=20 repeated scans, 452 defects have been fixed by kernel developers; 48=20 have been verified but not yet fixed; another 413 remain to be verified=20 and fixed, according to code scanning results posted on the Coverity Web = site. FreeBSD, sometimes posed as an alternative to Linux, has been slower to=20 respond to the Coverity scans. In 1,582,166 lines of code, it has fixed=20 zero defects, verified six and has another 605 to go. """ These numbers seem strange and out of proportion. I know there has been=20 prior cooperation with Coverity - is this just old data? --------------enig14A246A22C6231A0328C3E14 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHh82rldnAQVacBcgRAuI6AJ9Oz82EwzDaqUqF+Vc5nYSIvhRKUQCfaroR rRuXNtbbtX9nS6mctk0yGGU= =MiZF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig14A246A22C6231A0328C3E14--
