Systemd-resolved remote DoS via a crafted DNS response

I found the discussion about the CVE more interesting than the bug itself.

Too bad they don't leave "off topic" comments alone...

poettering continues to amuse/dismay. he and the projects that are synonymous with his personality might benefit greatly (if only in public perception) if he took a break from being their public face and staunchest defender.

Well, this is precisely why we shouldn't trust Poettering with anything infrastructure-related.

Maybe it's a bit exaggerated: having a pr problem does not damage my confidence in someone's abilities ...

I'm more inclined to trust someone who takes a stand for what he believes in rather than someone who never goes beyond the limits of prudence. (Whether I agree or not)

It's "the pressure". The community is not heaven if you take things too seriously.
