- uecker 1y agoIt is not an attack if there is no privilege boundary in the first place. One could argue that should be, but then X's security would have also worked which is the point of the article. The problem was that Wayland propaganda pretended actual users would benefit from improved security immediately because there was a gaping security hole. The point of the linked repo is that this is nonsense and typical Linux users do not benefit at all.
