Seems they have published their own security flaw and didn't close it

https://github.com/slockit/DAO/pull/247/commits/b7038eacdc3b8bb07cfb6cb8bcc98dba9e2c9302

They had 2 Pull Requests that attempted to address issue. Here is other one

https://github.com/slockit/DAO/pull/248

Seems that one was never merged as well.

It's been a known problem publically since June 9th. If I can find the link I'll edit this post.

Additionally (I could be wrong on this) the DAO requires two weeks of voting to correct such flaws.

Two weeks is a recipe for disaster.
It will give somebody trying to exploit flaws enough time to prepare and execute his plans flawlessly.

My thoughts exactly. Without a locking mechanism it seems hard to avoid. I don't think the 20% quorum was going to be hit for some time regardless. Not until a massive consolidation of DAO tokens, would have ruined the whole concept.

On another thread they said this was a known issue since 2015. Which means they had months to sort it out and didn't bother. Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy.
