Re: Erlang cookie vulnerability

According to the author the issue is already filed. Also, according to the
author, the CouchDB security team response was like ‘it gonna be fixed
eventually, in future release’, which, as I understand, was anything but
satisfying and resulted in publication.

So it’s already widely public, and my post wasn’t about vulnerability.

It was about ‘Shouldn’t that recommendation be emitted into the CouchDB
installer?’.
