Originally posted by birdie View Post2,5 years after all these vulnerabilities were discovered we still have zero exploits using them. So much drama every time.
Most systems have the mitigations on, thus attackers won't realistically be using them since the attack surface is so small. As a result, the lack of an exploit would mean that the mitigations are working.

I do not say certain setups should be running free from these mitigations - some absolutely have to employ them, e.g. shared hostings, VMs, cloud computing platforms, etc.Last edited by birdie; 10 June 2020, 06:21 AM.
