One. "Copy Fail 2" and "Dirty Frag" are the same thing.

  And consideing the size of the kenel, I call this stupendously good. You (anyone, not you personally) write that much code yourself and let's see how well you did in comparison.

    But that's the attacker advantage. You can do things right a billion times and one mistake will still take you down.

  Are you sure? I'd really like that to be true, I felt bad finishing up work on Friday evening having applied the Dirty Frag mitigation to all our instances, but knowing (thinking?) the Copy Fail 2 vulnerability was still exploitable.

    Technically there are two things that need to be fixed in the kernel indeed (and one of them was fixed already), but they're both under the "Dirty Frag" umbrella and the proposed mitigation to not allow the affected modules to load applies to them both.
