About this episode

The episode discusses the complexities and processes involved in handling security bugs in Linux development.

With an increase in the number of security bugs being disclosed irresponsibly, we dig into how the process should work, the differences between normal bugs and security bugs, the complexities of coordinating patches, the human issues involved, and more.           Support us on Patreon and get an ad-free RSS feed with early episodes sometimes   See our contact page for ways to get in touch.
