Oracle security boss throws her toys out of the pram
 

Oracle chief security officer Mary Ann Davidson has been ranting online about people who discover security flaws in Larry Ellison’s database.

Writing in the Oracle corporate blog, Davidson appeared fed up about customers who insist on making the job harder by reverse engineering.

Davidson complains that she would rather be writing murder mysteries then telling off customers who insist on reverse engineering Oracle software code to find vulnerabilities.

“Recently, I have seen a large-ish uptick in customers reverse engineering our code to attempt to find security vulnerabilities in it. < Insert big sigh here. >

“This is why I’ve been writing a lot of letters to customers that start with “hi, howzit, aloha” but end with “please comply with your licence agreement and stop reverse engineering our code, already.”

What she is saying is for punters to stop trying to find security holes which only pull down the overall quality of Oracle products.
