Linux Foundation and Harvard’s Lab identifies the most commonly used free and open-source software and the potential vulnerabilities associated.
The Census II report determines the “important steps towards understanding and addressing structural and security complexities in the modern-day supply chain where open source is pervasive, but not always understood.”
The report also identifies the commonly used application in production environments and examine them for potential vulnerabilities.
“The Census II report addresses some of the most important questions facing us as we try to understand the complexity and interdependence among open-source software packages and components in the global supply chain,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at the Linux Foundation.
Starting from Heartbleed security bug, the importance of FOSS is understood than ever before and they are a critical part of a production environment, throughout the supply chain.
With FOSS constituting 80-90 percent of all software, it is more important than ever that we understand what FOSS is most used and where it could be vulnerable to attack, reads the report.
