this is why you don't contact distro mailing list. responsible disclosure is dead.

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

it's advertising their AI, not the talents of their humans :D

i mean, it doesn't work on any SELinux, but it's still quite severe anyhow

ctrl + o isn't live - that's not what users want, what users want is the OPTION to choose what we want to see.

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?
