Security Curve Weblog: SANS Says Microsoft is "Negligent and Irresponsible"

Security Curve Weblog: SANS Says Microsoft is "Negligent and Irresponsible": "Microsoft's delay is inexcusable,' said Alan Paller, director of research at computer security group SANS Institute. 'There's no excuse other than incompetence and negligence.'

This language was so harsh that I figured I had to put it up. As a quick aside though, why is Microsoft 'negligent and incompetent' for not fixing this during the three days it's been public whereas Oracle has left critical security bugs unpatched for years and nobody cares?"
