The Heartbleed Bug
So, Google and Codenomicon independently found this two-year-old vulnerability at approximately the same time? How does that happen? Are they both looking at the same publicly-shared fuzzing data, or was there a patch that suddenly made it more obvious?<p>The obvious concern would be that one found it a good while ago, and just didn't bother announcing it until the other team was anyway. I don't believe that's what happened here, but I'm curious what the mechanism actually was.
