Why is the security fix the only change with no details

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Possibly because not everyone updates immediately, and therefore the security flaw could still be abused.

[–] 8BitFriendly@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe because it makes no sense to tell people about vulnerabilities in the code (even if they were fixed)?

[–] AccidentalLemming@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's open source.

I know, but still, you don't point people to the code that is vulnerable for attacks. If you want to know more, you need to look on Bugzilla by yourself.
