✦ Synopsis

Once a vulnerability has been found in an application or service that runs on a computer connected to the Internet, fixing that exploit in a timely fashion is of the utmost importance. There are two parts to fixing vulnerability: a party acting on behalf of the application's vendor gives instructions to fix it or makes a patch available that can be downloaded; then someone using that information fixes the computer or application in question. This paper considers the effects of proprietary software versus non-proprietary software in determining the speed with which a security fix is made available, since this can minimize the amount of time that the computer system remains vulnerable.
