I'd say focusing on specific exploits/CVEs here is sort of missing the forest for the trees. This is really a case of an entire optimization technique being fundamentally vulnerable to exploitation. The details of what specific exploit variants have been successfully developed so far are really only an implementation detail, it'd be silly to assume the ones that have been disclosed so far are all that will ever be (indeed, RH's disclosure on this explicitly states that there are known exploits on ppc and s390 which have not yet been given CVEs and catchy nicknames). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
