Christian Science Monitor reporter Joe Uchill writes about a new system developed by MIT researchers that can automatically detect and fix software bugs by borrowing functionality from other applications.  Uchill explains that the researchers hope “automating the detection and patching processes will reduce the chance that an attacker can take advantage of the bug within a system.”
