The #curl vulnerability mountain. A visualization I like. https://curl.se/dashboard1.html#vulnerabilities-in-code
@bagder what changed in late 2016?
@gfaster @bagder yeah why isnt anyone answering this? What changed in 2016-2017?
@bagder You should try to balance that out with the weight of the source code :)
@bagder That shows the codebase is mature. Usually that's where people decide to rewrite everything in Rust
@bagder Question:
Did you have the vulnerability rating early on, or did you / someone go over old vulns retroactively and rated them?
@kura we had them set fairly early on, but yes we have gone back and retroactively added a lot of additional details on the old ones, for science. Or perhaps for better graphs.
@bagder I'd add "found" or "known" to the caption just to highlight the fact that the work of securing curl hasn't reached its end, it still has to be done
@andrybak good point, it is certainly just a snapshot in time that *will* change
What happened in 2017?
