This document may contain errors

Naming of particular products or brands should not be seen as

wholeheartedly endorse the use of GNU/Linux; it is an extremely
47
and robust operating system that offers an ideal operating

environment for Bugzilla.
51
Although the Bugzilla development team has taken great care to
52
ensure that all exploitable bugs have been fixed, security holes surely
53
exist in any piece of code. Great care should be taken both in
54
the installation and usage of this software. The Bugzilla development
55
team members assume no liability for your use of Bugzilla. You have
56
the source code, and are responsible for auditing it yourself to ensure
57
your security needs are met.
