Month of Kernel Bugs Ends in Controversy

The Month of Kernel Bugs (MOKB) project went out with a bang today in more ways than one. Researchers scrapped plans for a memory corruption bug in the Apple Airport Extreme wireless card firmware. A developer disputed a critical Apple OS X DMG vulnerability reported by MOKB leader LMH on November 20. The developer contends that the bug isn’t a serious memory-corruption flaw, but is a more benign flaw that basically crashes the system. Despite the brouhaha over the bug, the project is credited with drawing much-needed attention to wireless driver flaws.”]
