A very detailed article. Love the history of all the kernels too. My only minor gripe is that since it's about a serious security issue, I would like a very brief explanation in the beginning, like what is the impact, the requirements for the attack, is it a logic error or memory corruption etc. Very brief, only long enough to know if I want to read the rest of the article or not :)

Thanks for the feedback! I was burying the lede a bit on purpose to entice the reader to read more, but I also completely understand your perspective as well.
