From Search Security.com:
When a vulnerability researcher discloses a flaw in a widely-used operating system or application, some IT professionals question the motive. Such has been the case with a Linux Kernel flaw that was disclosed last week. Wojciech Purczynski, a researcher with Singapore-based security firm COSEINC, discovered the flaw, and a researcher using the online name “Qaaz” followed it up with attack code. Qaaz declined an interview request, but Purczynski did answer some questions in an email exchange. In this Q&A, he explains how he reported the security hole and why Linux users should take his findings seriously.
For the email interview read on.
