Did the “Man With No Name” Feel Insecure?

Posted by James Forshaw, Taker of Names Sometimes when I'm doing security research I'll come across a bug which surprises me. I discovered just such a bug in the Windows version of Chrome which exposed a little-known security detail in the OS. The bug, CVE-2014-3196 was fixed in M38, so it seemed...
