CVE bugs should always include the Linux kernel build configuration.

Ya know, such as CONFIG_BLUETOOTH, CONFIG_NAT, as applicable.

Makes decision making so much easier.

UK is doing it wrong.

They would get their best arrest rate with a microphone or printed words.

Camera? We just released a terrorist team spotted by an eyewitness.

Or is public health hiding that too?

Then don't worry about it.

Your CPU is obviously able to handle your purportedly high-transactional workload ... until it doesn't.

In NextSTEP 3, it was zoned-based allocation.

Rhapsody and early MacOS X, Darwin also used zone-based

Early iPhone also zone-based.

Later MacOS X implemented scalable zone, magazine allocator.

iPhone 12+ then went Nano allocator, ScalableZone + large/VM allocator

Latest iOS/iPadOS use Nano2
