I see that I received a lot of criticism after disclosing 6.4 vulnerability. Please read some facts: I send few mails: on 29th Aug to security team, on 2nd Sep and 11th Sep directly to security officer. None of them were responded. I haven't filled any PRs, because it would disclose details of vulnerability to the public and allow blackhats to exploit it. I won't publish anything more than video, before official security advisory. The exploit is private to me and it won't be given to the "community".

This is another bug. The former one affected only 6.1, this one affects everything up to 6.4-STABLE.
