At least if you’re on Amazon Web Services behind a load balancer you probably aren’t really that impacted enough to spend Halloween patching.

> AWS Web Application Firewall, Application Load Balancer, Classic Load Balancer, TLS Listeners on Network Load Balancer, Cloud Front, API Gateway

> Customers using the above services do not receive TCP connections from untrusted sources directly when following best practices. AWS is applying updates to the underlying infrastructure of these services and no immediate customer action is required if you are using these services. We still recommend customers update their self-managed instances behind these services within the next 30 days.

Note: AWS NLB doesn't terminate TCP for TCP listeners.

It would be great if they introduced mitigations for this vulnerability though.

I'm more worried about my consumer-grade router.

Another reason hyperscaler cloud providers will continue to grow (IMO)!
