Notes

mdeslaur

as of 2024-01-26, this is not fixed in the upstream 5.x repository. The patches to fix this issue are large and intrusive. Per the researcher's advisory, "Of course, such 'attacks' are completely theoretical and are only considered for entertainment purposes." Ubuntu 20.04 LTS was patched in USN-6728-1, but the fix introduced crashes and was backed out in USN-6728-2. It was ultimately fixed in USN-6728-3.
