Programming error

Jul 10, 2005 09:38

If you look at security.debian.org's recent advisories:

[10 Jul 2005] DSA-745 drupal
input validation errors
[08 Jul 2005] DSA-744 fuse
programming error <-------- heh
[08 Jul 2005] DSA-743 ht
buffer overflows, integer overflows
[07 Jul 2005] DSA-742 cvs
buffer overflow
[07 Jul 2005] DSA-741 bzip2
infinite loop
Aren't input validation errors, buffer/integer overflows, and infinite loops also programming errors?

I'm really curious exactly what fuse's problem is. The detailed view just says:

Sven Tantau discovered a security problem in fuse, a filesystem in userspace, that can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information.

(the diff, for those curious)
