On Monday, the internet technology corporation announced it would additionally compensate researchers who find bugs in web servers including Apache httpd, lighttpd and nginx, and mail delivery services including Sendmail, Postfix, Exim and Dovecot. OpenVPN, University of Delaware NTPD, Mozilla NSS and libxml2 were also on the list, as well as toolchain security improvements for GCC, binutils, and llvm.

When Google introduced the OSS bug bounty program in October, the company said it would be offering rewards ranging from $500 to $3,133.70.
