Illustrating the Linux sock_sendpage() NULL pointer dereference

but the pulseaudio thing is a seperate vunerability.

so what I think I am hearing you say is that if I don't use pulseaudio or SELinux on a system then I don't have to worry about this sock_sendpage() vunerability

if you have pulseaudio, you are still vulnerable.

does this vunerability depend on the SELinux vunerability?

if I have a system that doesn't use SELinux is this bug still there?
