It's true nobody knows what the actual bug is, but I was working with what Ars Technica described: "If the problem were just that it enabled the derandomization of ASLR, this probably wouldn't be a huge disaster... The industry reaction... suggests that it's not just ASLR that's defeated and that a more general ability to leak information from the kernel has been developed." https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/whats-behind-the-int...

I guess I've stopped reading security articles by Peter Bright ever since he spent a whole series of articles shitting on project zero for disclosing vulnerabilities after the 90 day disclosure window when Microsoft had just been sitting on the bug.
