Yeah, what a disappointment. This guy brought shame to the security community because he was salty that his vulnerability didn’t get the attention it “deserved”.

Copying my reply from another thread:

This link should be working.

Quoting from the OP tweet:

* Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
* Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
* Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
* Still no working fix.
* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.

I’ve spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can’t accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

Me too, I’m looking forward to the writeup.

Cannot complain.

Spotted the German.

Are you passing CloudFlare captchas with that? I’m using a VPN and whenever I hit a CloudFlare captcha with a modified user agent, it doesn’t let me pass.

The screenshot is getting crispy, time to get it out of the deep fryer

That’s mentioned in the article I believe. I was just trying to save some people a minute or two. :)

TLDR: Avoid Telegram and WhatsApp. Recommended messengers are Session, Signal, SimpleX and Threema. Honorable mention: Briar.
