The latest news and insights from Google on security and safety on the Internet
News from the land of patch rewards
9. listopada 2014.
It’s been a year since we
launched
our
Patch Reward
program, a novel effort designed to recognize and reward proactive contributions to the security of key open-source projects that make the Internet tick. Our goal is to provide financial incentives for improvements that go beyond merely fixing a known security bug.
We started with a modest scope and reward amounts, but have gradually expanded the program over the past few months. We’ve seen some great work so far—and to help guide future submissions, we wanted to share some of our favorites:
Incorporation of a
variety of web security checks
directly into Django to help users develop safer web applications.
A support for
seccomp-bpf sandboxing
in BIND to minimize the impact of remote code execution bugs.
Addition of
Curve25519
and several other primitives in OpenSSH to strengthen its cryptographic foundations and improve performance.
A set of patches to reduce the
likelihood of ASLR info leaks
in Linux to make certain types of memory corruption bugs more difficult to exploit.
And, of course, the recent
attack-surface-reducing
function prefix patch in bash that helped mitigate a flurry of “Shellshock”-related bugs.
We hope that this list inspires even more contributions in the year to come. Of course, before participating, be sure to
read the rules page
. When done, simply send your nominations to
security-patches@google.com
. And keep up the great work!
