Submission + - Free Software Foundation issues response to inquiry about Shellshock bug (fsf.org) 5
mctaylor writes: The Free Software Foundation issued a rambling and evasive response to inquiries into the Shellshock bug reported here previously. In response to inquiries, the Free Software Foundation reasserts the superiority of free software over proprietary solutions, but notes:
Free software cannot guarantee your security, and in certain situations may appear less secure on specific vectors than some proprietary programs
, and concludes by stating:
the solution is to put energy and resources into auditing and improving free programs.
