Yes it does? And Ubuntu is selling security subscriptions and doing a poor job of it, These aren't open source volunteers, this is a paid product.

I'm not following, I don't believe a kernel patch like this would be limited to security subscribers. Or is your complaint that there's a security subscription program but no patch has been produced yet?

You are talking about the company side of the issues. We are talking about the specific issue that is concerning our ubuntu servers. What is the security bug, and how can someone exploit it? Where is that written?
I read the whole post and still don’t have any idea what it is and how severe it is. Ubuntu has not marked it critical. Is there any reason to disagree with that assessment? In an entire post criticizing Ubuntu you’d think they would at least make that case.
They have also not shared why they didn’t patch their kernel directly when updated versions have been available for a couple weeks now. Why wait for Ubuntu at all?
