this is why you don't contact distro mailing list. responsible disclosure is dead.
x4132··on For Linux kernel vulnerabilities, there is no heads-up to distributions
to which distros? how do you ensure fairness? Do you report this to the maintainer of Red Star OS (north korea)?

The kernel security team was given the heads up a month ago. At that point it is their decision.

sorry yeah, I saw not exploitable on Android and thought most SELinux would be ok. Not super sure on this case what the surface is
x4132··on CopyFail was not disclosed to distro developers?
so what? we should never disclose anything? this will only result in companies suppressing disclosure and leaving vulnerabilities unpatched.

x4132··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
ctrl + o isn't live - that's not what users want, what users want is the OPTION to choose what we want to see.
x4132··on Things Unix can do atomically (2010)
not surprised about the chrome part, but pretty shocked at the phone OS part. I know APFS migration was done in this way, but wouldn't storage considerations for this be massive?

goddamn, almost missed out such a cool extra layer, thanks for the tip!
