Top 25 List Of Software Errors

摘要

Will the list of the Top 25 worst software errors released last week be able to rescue customers from rotten software? That's the palpable hope from some security managers who have backed the government and industry effort to identify the worst programming mistakes that lead to patch-management headaches and even cybercrime and cyberespionage. With the Top 25 list - which sprang from an effort that began with the Department of Homeland Security seeking to pinpoint which software weaknesses lead to security breaches - there's optimism that software buyers will be able to use this common set of definitions to ask that software vendors fix their mistakes without major legal or financial fuss.
