Yes, there are. Will they find everything? No. Would I be pissed, if this caused silent corruption of my filesystem, or some such crap that's hard to test, due to this uni trying to push in memory misuse vulnerabilities into the kernel into some obscure driver that is not normally that much tested, but I use it on my SBC farm? Yes.

Maybe they had some plan for immediate revert when the bogus patch got into stable, but some people update stable quickly, for a good reason, and it's just not good to do this research this way.
