Hi, I just wanted to ask about the recently talked-about Copy-Fail bug in Linux. I was wondering if the FreeBSD community has tried to replicate it in FBSD , or if that even makes sense. Why does it even happen in Linux, and maybe why it doesn't here? And I'm just sorta curious if there is some fundamental structural decision that might be protecting FBSD from that type of exploit. Or if it was simply a fluke bug. I know I'm asking large questions, just thought I'd reach out to this list to prompt the topic and maybe get pointed in some direction. If it hasn't been tested I'd love to try to test it myself, but I'm in a bit over my head.
