Rsync client-side arbitrary file write vulnerability

Our industry will only change when security exploits come with hard penalties for the companies that don't take security seriously, just like any food joint gets closed down when visited by the sanitary authorities and doesn't upheld the very minimum health conditions.

Until then, rinse and repeat as you say.

You can’t impose penalties for free and open source projects though. Well, you can, but that results in much fewer open source projects being ever developed.

Sure you can, just like people selling street food have to take care no one gets food poison.

OTOH this also stops people from giving away food they don't need anymore. Something like good samaritan laws should apply here as well.

That is why we have charities that take care of handling such issues.
