The embargo was set to 5 days, with an agreement that if a third party publishes the exploit on the internet during the embargo period, the Dirty Frag exploit would be published publicly. 2026-05-07: Detailed information and the exploit for this vulnerability were published publicly by an unrelated third party, breaking the embargo. Well, that's reassuring - hopefully, since the patch for it is also described in the repo, distro maintainers can patch it quickly permalink fedilink source parent
