Linux kernel use-after-free in Netfilter, local privilege escalation
There's easily thousands of such bugs hidden in the kernel.<p>Reminder the kernel has over ten million LoCs, or megabytes of object code.<p>Perhaps we should start thinking about whether it is a good idea to run something this large in supervisor mode, with full privileges.<p>I wouldn't say it is sensible in a world where seL4 exists.
