University of Minnesota security researchers apologize for deliberately buggy Linux patches
The abashed University of Minnesota researchers apologized for their blunders, but the issues are far from resolved. And, Linus Torvalds briefly addresses the fouled up Linux patches.
Last week, some University of Minnesota (UMN) security researchers kicked a hornet nest, when it was revealed that they'd tried to insert deliberately buggy patches into Linux. Greg Kroah-Hartman, the well-respected Linux kernel maintainer for the Linux stable branch, responded by banning not only them but any UMN-connected developers from contributing to the Linux kernel. Now, the researchers have sort of, kind of, apologized for their mistakes: "We sincerely apologize for any harm our research group did to the Linux kernel community."
