Question about scm security holes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I just saw this article about the "google hackers" exploiting weaknesses in scms,
Perforce in particular:

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/03/source-code-hacks/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29

I guess google didn't take Linus's advice to dump Perforce :)

I can't tell from the article if Perforce is any worse than any other scm for
security holes, in fact it seems to imply that others haven't been tested in
the same way.

Just curious if anyone here has any thoughts about how the article may or may
not have any relevance for git (git being the scm I use most, by far, which is
the reason I'm interested).

Thanks
