CVE-2018-8897

[Oko]

For those who are curious interesting discussion started by truly yours. This is the original security advisory

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2018-8897

and this is the comment I was able to get out of Mike Larkin of OpenBSD (not affected)

DragonFly guys have posted patches and my DragonFly file server is already upgraded

dfly# uname -a
DragonFly dfly.bagdala2.net 5.2-RELEASE DragonFly v5.2.0.16.ge69bb3-RELEASE #14: Thu May 10 15:45:15 EDT 2018     root@dfly.bagdala2.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64

I am looking forward for FreeBSD patches.

Just reading the description of the problem makes me want to bang my head on the table.

Cetero censeo x86 esse delendam.

Glad to see some love for Latin here

Small correction: it's ceterum (adverbal accusative)

Perhaps you could give lessons.

My latin is on Asterix level, so to speak.
But that does not make it false what I said.

time, I don't remember much XD
