I thought this was interesting as a cautionary tale that even tiny open source programs that are widely installed for years can contain critical security exploits. I don't understand the trend of security exploits getting their own website, name and logo though.
- ringshall 9y agoThis site seems to have been created by a company specializing in giving security exploits their own branding: "I want to brand my next vulnerability. Can you make a logo for me? Great idea! Please contact our sales department." It's definitely not associated with the person who discovered the beep vuln: "Holey Beep is a community-maintained project for the bug otherwise known as CVE-2018-0492. It is not associated with the Linux Foundation, nor with the original discoverer of this vulnerability. If you would like to contribute go to GitHub." Strange.
