A project funded by the US Department of Homeland Security has praised improvements in open source security, while outlining some common errors.
Coverity, which creates automated source-code analysis tools, announced late Monday its first list of open-source projects that have been certified as free of security defects.
Perl, PHP, Python and Samba have been commended for improving security in a report analysing over 250 open-source projects.
The most popular open-source software is also the most free of bugs, according to the first results of a US government-sponsored effort to help make such software as secure as possible.
