Red Hat and IBM Patch Over 400 Open-Source Vulnerabilities

Red Hat and IBM have invested engineering resources in fixing vulnerabilities in foundational software that can affect entire corporate systems, even if the codebase has been used stably for a long time.

The companies used Lightwell to discover and fix over 400 previously unknown vulnerabilities and bugs in Java libraries used in actual production environments.

Lightwell Clearinghouse, a new service, allows companies to request prioritized review and patching of specific open-source software dependencies.
