My daughter loves science and the new Cosmos. This is a perfect tool to plan with for an upcoming warm summer night.
This bug would have been utterly trivial to detect when introduced had the OpenSSL developers bothered testing with a normal malloc (not even a security focused malloc, just one that frees memory every now and again). Instead, it lay dormant for years until I went looking for a way to disable their Heartbleed accelerating custom allocator.
it's a very good read.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
