A potentially dangerous vulnerability was discovered in the Linux Kernel, affecting Realtek Wi-Fi chips that could have been used to crash or compromise any systems running Linux. A buffer overflow could be triggered by in any machines using a Realtek chip and any Linux kernel, which would, at the very least, crash the OS. A patch is required to fix it, and it will be available soon, and a patch will be made available on all branches in coming days. Theres a little bit of silver lining, as the vulnerability was found by a security researcher and not a hacker.”]
