I suspect part of it is that the mitigation for DirtyFrag covers it, so everyone who blocked all the modules in question when that had only an incomplete patch probably hasn't unblocked them yet. I think this is the 4th patch for these modules, and only got a new name rather than just "there's still a way to get this code to do the wrong thing" because a different outside team found this one.
Obviously there were not many - and it might have been rarity value.
Or perhaps no one had told them about mosquito coils.
Yeah, and the person who released the information first was operating in an "if I noticed this, doing only as much as I'm doing, surely attackers would also notice" mode. Possibly some patches these days are sufficiently obvious as to their correctness and also effect that they should first become public as a set of stable releases. This was a kind of special case, as CopyFail was the combination of some code doing something strange with one user not being prepared for it, and fixed the user. If there are other users that also aren't prepared, fixing them isn't going to be subtle.
How shadows and reflections move when you're 10 milies from a mostly flat surface a thousand miles across is legitimately hard to analyze for a visual system that evolved on the ground, especially if you throw in small periodic surface orientation variations. Given how complicated it is to explain rare rainbow-related phenomena like sun dogs, it would be surprising if we'd identified and explained everything that can appear when flying above the ocean.
While you're at it, you also need to block installing esp4, esp6, and rxrpc, for, y'know, reasons.
According to the article, they (by way of their cloud provider) had DR backups, which they were able to get restored. But getting offline backups restored takes longer than the SLAs they give their customers and loses some data that hasn't been copied offline yet, which is why they also have backups that are complete and immediately available, using the API key that the attacker -- sorry, AI -- found in a file it wasn't supposed to have access to.
How many of you are ready to fund me asking the whales if under water explosions make them feel they are haunted?
Politics ain't free, you know
As for running Windows code without you having to give permission on each an every occasion in triplicate, signed in blood - this sounds like a totally unacceptable security risk to me!
Verizon's 2 Gbps Fios home service doesn't support IPv6, due apparently to them picking hardware for this particular service that doesn't handle it. Their other service does handle it, including slower home Fios, but not that in particular.
But you can sure as hell die trying!
Any politician who votes for this has proven themselves unfit for the purpose for which they were elected, and should be declared to be inadequate for any office, let alone a "high office".
In my view, they should be required to get a medical certification that they are sane before they are allowed out of the house.
