09:07 schestowitz;

09:07 schestowitz; The well-known log4j security vulnerability of December 2021 triggered a lot of renewed discussions around software supply chain security, and sometimes it has also been said to be an Open Source related issue.

09:07 schestowitz; This was not the first software component to have a serious security flaw, and it will not be the last.

09:07 schestowitz; This is the 10,000 dollar question that is really hard to answer. In this post I hope to help putting some light on to why it is such a hard problem. This comes from my view as an Open Source author and contributor since almost three decades now.

09:07 schestowitz; In this post Im going to talk about security as in how we make our products have less bugs in the code we write and land on purpose. There is also a lot to be said about infrastructure problems such as consumers not verifying dependencies so that when malicious actors purposely destroy a component, users of that dont notice the problem or supply chain security issues that risk letting bad actors insert malicious code

09:07 schestowitz; into components. But those are not covered in this blog post!

20:11 schestowitz; yes, we can definitely do that. Want to use mumble (hosted by us)?

20:12 schestowitz; Well, it was a hardware failure, but package upgrades and OS upgrades make us more secure too. At the moment I do an article explaining what happened.
