Over at the bad place, @evilsocket has reported an unauthenticated RCE in all GNU/Linux systems.
Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, rating it a 9.9. Despite this, no working fix or CVE has been issued. Simone says the devs responsible are being defensive and dragging their feet.
Are things really as bad as Simone says?

1. Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago. * Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs). * Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6). * Still no working fix. * Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot. * Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact. I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.
