Quoting /u/hansoku-make from the /r/linux thread [1]:
This is beyond childish from both sides.
It started when Kees Cook (who recently became a target of one of Linus' rants that was posted here a lot) gave a talk at the Linux Security Summit and pointed out the superiority of their work over something like Grsecurity and how it's much better audited. He tried to emphasize his point by 'disclosing' what he thought was a 0-day in grsec code, apparently without talking to them first.
Brad and his ego, who unsurprisingly respond in the same childish way now drops a more severe 0-day on fucking Twitter to prove him wrong.
You know, this time, I thought Linus' rant was the other way around: I tend to disagree with his technical stance but he was right with the personal attacks. A lot of these people are immature up to a level where the carry out their fights on the back of users.
