[tor-project] Fwd: Mozilla Will Fund Code Audits For Open Source Software

[Damian Johnson]

Considering how closely we work with Mozilla I suspect this program is
no surprise, but none the less forwarding it along since it could very
well benefit some of our sub-projects.

Cheers! -Damian

Open Source (SOS) Fund, whose aim is to help open source software
projects get rid their code of vulnerabilities. Projects that want
Mozilla's help must be open source/free software and must be actively
maintained, but they have a much better probability to being chosen if
their software is commonly used and is vital to the continued
functioning of the Internet or the Web. Three open source projects --
PCRE, libjpeg-turbo, and phpMyAdmin -- have already gone through the
process, and the result was removal of 43 vulnerabilities (including
one critical).
