For the first time since August 31, Symantec has lowered their AlertCon
threat status to "1" (normal) -- and mind you, Symantec openly
*acknowledges* Oracle issued patches for a hundred security flaws across
their entire product line!
Symantec throws fits for weeks on end, every time Microsoft issues a patch.
"Holy Jeez, if you live on Planet Earth, you better get the greivous
update!" Oracle issues a hundred patches in one fell swoop for the entire
corporate / government / military world, and Symantec thinks it's a yawner?
Hmph.
It's probably just a coincidence, but Symantec doesn't include their *own*
vulnerabilities in their website AlertCon notices. That's because antivirus
vulnerabilities constitute no threat. "Yes," said Jon Stewart, "that MUST
be the reason..."
