Linux becomes only OS to escape PWN 2 OWN unscathed - Engadget: "In the end, it was reported that some folks on hand had discovered bugs in the Linux OS, but many of them 'didn't want to put the work into developing the exploit code that would be required to win the contest.'"
I don't know how to take this-- either they couldn't find a vulnerability in the Linux OS to exploit and just said they "didn't want to put the work" in as a face-saving excuse, or there really are vulnerabilities in the Linux OS-- and, for some reason I don't understand-- a bunch of people with a keen interest in computer security decided to do nothing about them?
There's got to be more to this story than meets the eye.
