But they didn't release immediately -- they waited a month, but forgot to tell the distros, and forgot to check if waiting a month had actually lead to distros picking up the patches and shipping them.
- sgjohnson 6mo agoWhich just reinforces my point. The patch was available, therefore, where the exploit lies was also available. Linux kernel is one of the most audited open-source projects ever. I guarantee you that someone did reverse the patch. > but forgot to tell the distros Probably an oversight, but irrelevant. The bug was in the linux kernel. It's insane to suggest that they should have notified everyone shipping the linux kernel.
