Talk:Przemysław Frasunek

Notability of vulnerabilities

First, are you Przemysław Frasunek?

No, I'm not. Adom11 (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second, you need to provide a reference to a reliable source that says the vulnerability was actually notable. In the same time period, I see plenty of press hits for WU-FTPD vulns, but none of them appear to be this one.

Third, you need to verify that Przemysław Frasunek actually found the vulnerability. The Bugtraq post linked from the CVE post credits tf8, and only offers a "shout-out" to "venglin".

[1] & [2], CVE links to both. Adom11 (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for not simply restoring the entire list of vulnerabilities, but if we can't provide actual references that establish your notability, I'm going to propose the article be deleted. Plenty of people have found major vulnerabilities, and yet have not been written about in sufficient detail to merit a Wikipedia article.

I understand your point of view, although IMO discovery of the exploitation technique for one of the most known form of software vulnerability (format string attack) is quite enough to be noted on wikipedia. See articles on Robert Tappan Morris or Michal Zalewski. Adom11 (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't evaluate the first cite; it's not in English. This is the English Wikipedia.

http://www.diva-portal.org/diva/getDocument?urn_nbn_se_liu_diva-7866-1__fulltext.pdf? We usually don't delete sources on quantum mechanics, because taxi driver cannot understand it. There are people fluent in the language of the document, so let them verify it. Many wikipedias refer to sources in other languages (esp. english), I don't see a reason why not let it here. What about marking it with a flag or with some other language descriptor? Adom11 (talk) 20:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dispute that the cite to "economy-point.org" is reliable: there is no evidence of editorial oversight, and the content is badly machine-translated. --- tqbf 19:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
