Vulnerability distribution present in #curl code
For every moment in time, how many vulnerabilities of different severity were present in code. We know now because these vulnerabilities have been reported and fixed since then.
The peak is at 7.41.0 on 2015-02-25 with 85 vulnerabilities present!

Tesla's so-called "autopilot" turns off automatically a fraction of a second before a crash, so the driver can be blamed even though the driver has no time to respond. (It's been that way for more than a year since originally publicly documented by the NHTSA, this is clearly a choice someone made.)
theguardian.com/technology/202…
And while Tesla management clearly just loves doing terrible things, an individual engineer implemented this.
You don't want to be that engineer:
1. It's immoral, and a dereliction of your professional duty.
2. If your action ever goes to court, there will be some very expensive lawyers trying their best to make you the scapegoat and claim you are either incompetent or malicious, but you very definitely did this on your own.
And most of the time the things you'll be asked to do aren't as bad. I know someone who was asked by their manager to put a CE mark on products that were from the non-CE factory. These devices weren't safety critical, this wasn't going to kill anyone. But it's still fraud, and the incentive was still there for the company to make this engineer the scapegoat.
The engineer said "no"... and that was the end of it. Sometimes that's all it takes to enforce standards.
If "no" isn't enough, asking for something in writing (signed and dated) is a good next step. Chances are that will be the end of it, and meanwhile you can start looking for a new job.

I'm introducing limits per test case in #curl test suite to make sure we don't unintentionally accidentally suddenly use many more allocations or much more concurrent memory than we can allow.

Hey folks. I've noticed #DeltaChat hasn't got a page in #Wikipedia. Do you know sources which would prove its notability so we could create a page for it?
Boosts appreciated. If you don't know sources, someone else might.

Are you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.
Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

Make no mistake. This is a USA automaker and oil company hit job on the independence and sovereignty of the Canadian economy.
They are trying to reverse the inevitable so they can continue their own businesses as usual for as long as possible.
It can't be allowed to happen. Canada is already lagging far behind other nations. Our Economy and our Society and our burning forests, will suffer if our government gives in to this pressure.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •I think you should be able to graph how many unknown vulnerabilities there's been in curl over time, but graphing the time it takes between a vulnerability being introduced and it being reported.
Based on that, you might be able to guess how many unknown vulnerabilities there might be in curl right now.

Are there any particular changes that you would say have made a significant change in identifying\fixing and preventing vulnerabilities for Curl?
