Sysadmin's viral broadcast message pleads for a single CVE-free day
A root-user broadcast posted early Saturday morning recounts a brutal week of patching: a routine Monday fix, Patch Tuesday, an 'Exploit Wednesday' after someone reverse-engineered the patch diff, and an out-of-band fix on Thursday. The message, styled as a mock CVE advisory, asks the security community to pause filing vulnerabilities, reserving CVE numbers, or publishing proof-of-concept exploits for just 24 hours.
