>Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking
implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote
attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in
the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a
denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll
functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)
>denial of service

>Vulnerability found by devs in linux
Fixed in 1 hour, updating takes 5 minutes
>Vulnerability found in Windows
Takes months to be fixed by microshit, some 0days are still there with no reaction from ms
>>52529609
Took three years, actually.
>>52529722
To discover it. After finding out there is a vulnerability it took 1 hour to release new Debian kernel images.
Try harder

There are many more yet to be discovered mate.
Today
I will remind them
