Tension between security vendors, bug hunters continues to simmer - At issue is recent criticism of Oracle's security practices - by Jaikumar Vijayan
"December 03, 2006 (Computerworld) -- The long-standing tension between software vendors and independent vulnerability researchers who find security holes in vendors' products shows little signs of abating -- despite recent talk about responsible vulnerability disclosure practices.
Last week Oracle Corp. criticized independent vulnerability researchers after it came under fire for its security practices.
