    This link should be working.

    Quoting from the OP tweet:

    * Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
    * Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
    * Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
    * Still no working fix.
    * Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
    * Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.

    I’ve spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can’t accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

      Seems like he not only deleted the Tweet but also protected his whole account… Very weird…

        The real question what is the exploitability score

          I’ve noticed Canonical replaced their score breakdown with an ad for their paid services.

            That probably means this is closer to a publicity stunt. I’ll just wait until there is more information.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
