A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's barely any CVEs on that page. It's likely a security researcher did some fuzzing of the executable and found a few issues at once.
Have you looked at how many vulnerabilities there's been in things like Windows, MacOS, Chrome, etc?
I have. The point is that there is no software without vulnerabilities.
Definitely true, but that conflicts with this:
If you uninstalled software because of security, you wouldn't have any software left :)
Also true. I was probably too impatient when I bought a WinRAR license over night. But now I have it and I use it. :-)
Y-you paid for WinRAR?
I even own legitimate Total Commander and mIRC licenses!
Wow, a real unicorn! 🦄
I'm sure they're still celebrating someone purchasing a license :)
