It's a fluffy ad that inflates a very minor issue, make 'em pay. **edit** Coverity didn't catch this one: http://lwn.net/Articles/182311/ "There is a vulnerability in the X.Org server; it is a buffer overflow which can enable local root access by way of an X client. ....Note that this is not the vulnerability so loudly proclaimed recently by Coverity. That is an older bug which LWN readers knew about last March." Apparently this too is a typo. |

tuxchick2: Coverity actually found that parentheses bug back in March. I don't know why it's been revived. |

Maybe their PR people had some extra-strong coffee yesterday. |
