Like I said in my original comment, not if a future kernel change randomized that value to make it unpredictable to attacks. Then the bug will be back.

- winstonewert 8y agoThe bug doesn't trigger when the counter resets to zero, the bug triggers when the counter reuses a previous value. So: A) There is no reason whatsoever to randomize the counter B) Even if they did, it wouldn't be a problem because it would still take an absurdly long time to loop around to the starting positions.
