I think I speak for the whole 0day and 1day market when I say "Thank you for this idiocy, Linux community"

In their attempt to get revenge on security researchers for 'being more important', they have made it much easier for us to keep our exploits on the market for longer than before.

The idea that 'only the latest linux kernel is secure' is absolutely bananas, because it completely disregards the fact that legacy systems exist, they power very critical parts of our society, and they cannot be updated (as a general rule). Only components can be updated in-place.

So, again: thank you for the free money and for making exploits have a longer shelf life.
