This was caught during review, so nothing was "introduced" quite yet. And there's no indication that Linus wouldn't have produced a race condition (a notoriously more easy to miss kind of bug) without the use of AI tools.

It's only being exaggerated so much because he used AI.

    Official source this is based on is https://www.ncsc.nl/en/alerts/update-php-vulnerabilities-remain-a-reason-for-immediate-patching, which mentions they're investigating signs of exploits and that they have at least one confirmed exploit that happened abroad.

    It's still a complex exploit, mind, but not an unusable one.
