Linux Weekly News security editor Liz Coolbaugh picks up on a Bugtraq thread |
|
about <code>fuzz</code>, a tool that tests commands with randomly generated |
|
command line arguments. Lead developer Theo de Raadt ran it against OpenBSD |
|
and found routine coding errors in about a dozen commands, none security-related. |
|
The article reprints de Raadt's posting and comments. Though the exercise was |
|
worthwhile, the tool only points to the areas to check, and is no substitute for |
|
careful code reviews, he concludes. |
