| apw | the spender sidechannel patch above may not be generally applicable but I include it for completeness. |
| henrix | commit b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e is not sufficient to fix the CVE because an application doesnβt have to read atime/mtime (as is the case for the PoC). The 2 additional commits fix a regression and mark the shared ptmx node as un-notifiable (which will cause additional problems to backport them to Lucid, as it doesnβt have this feature) |
