@jenbanim It's a really bad CVE for CUPS but this dude was hyping it up like it was the 2nd coming of xz utils, this is a problem for desktop Linux systems that use CUPS

@BrodieOnLinux Yeah it's a serious CVE, but the way he was talking I was expecting another heartbleed. My anxiety was through the roof right before the disclosure

@BrodieOnLinux @jenbanim To be clear, the security researcher did not have anything to do with the score of 9.9. He hyped it up to be a bad vulnerability sure (which it was), but it's the 9.9 score that really got people concerned.

He's getting unfairly dogpiled IMO, and it's unfortunate to see you joining in on that.

@jenbanim @BrodieOnLinux That's it? There was supposed to be 3-6 CVE rated 9.9 in the end it's just one and just cups?
