Re: Wow! Lots of kernel flaws...

Hello Arjen,

I know the kernel developers are working on some of these (and they're
widely published) but the priority is ... well relatively minor.
Think of it this way: to mount a filesystem you need to be root, or your
desktop environment must trust you enough that you have local access to
the machine; if your aim is to crash the machine you have access to...
you can also unplug the power cord :)

LOL!

(but this is a very good argument to make sure our desktop environments
don't mount "external" filesystems such as cds and usb sticks
automatically; especially if the filesystem isn't one native for the
device; eg iso9660 for the cd and vfat for the usb stick)

That is most certainly true. Or at least not ones that you don't want "always" on.
