Jones: Future development of Trinity Here's a
discouraging blog post from Dave Jones on why he will no longer be developing the Trinity fuzz tester. " It’s no coincidence that the
number of bugs reported found with Trinity have dropped off sharply since
the beginning of the year, and I don’t think it’s because the Linux kernel
suddenly got lots better. Rather, it’s due to the lack of real ongoing
development to 'try something else' when some approaches dry up. Sadly we
now live in a world where it’s easier to get paid to run someone else’s
fuzzer these days than it is to develop one." | | 11:22p |
Kernel prepatch 4.2-rc2 The second 4.2 prepatch is available for testing. " This is not a particularly big rc, and things have been
fairly calm. We definitely did have some problems in -rc1 that bit people,
but they all seemed to be pretty small, and let's hope that -rc2 ends up
having fewer annoying issues." |
