    I’ve been using Linux since 2005

    Okay, so as a n00b you can be somewhat forgiven. As someone who started with Slack in 1997 I don’t have that excuse.

    …and almost every time it turns out to be a problem that can’t be exploited on it’s own. but requires the use of other vulnerabilities.

    Since when did chaining vulnerabilities make something not a problem? Are you claiming that the CUPS vulnerability announced in late September isn’t an issue simply because it takes multiple steps?

    The only exception I can recall is the zx util compression tool…

    I don’t mean to be an ass but were you asleep December 2021 through January 2022? Log4Shell was a 10 of 10 critical vulnerability!

    What about CVE-2022-47939 from December 2022?

    I can keep going if needed but I think my point is made. The vulnerabilities, even true kernel level stuff, are out there.
