But.. your original comment is just.. wrong?

This isn't a critical security flaw unless you have the worst partition scheme on your encrypted volumes imaginable.

The default LUKS partition scheme is vulnerable.

It's not even a process flaw at that point, just "possible".

There is a successful POC, it is a flaw.

you can compromise disks once encrypted because everything is happening in an in-memory boot process.

This is not just in-memory. This is modifying the unencrypted part of initramfs on disk. Powering off the machine does not remove the exploit.
