Linux kernel security
Speaking as a user I could care less about vendor kernels. I want the
fix out as fast as possible. If that means disclosing the vulnerability
or, more likely, giving enough information (from the patch) for someone
to figure it out then that's ok with me. Waiting on vendors could get
very ugly... which vendors first of all. What if one of them takes weeks
to get the patch released? What if they only do quarterly updates? What
about regression testing? I don't want to wait on those things.
