This is amazing. Page says it works on RHEL 14.3, which doesn’t exist. Current RHEL is 10.x, this must’ve been done in a TARDIS.

This is amazing. Page says it works on RHEL 14.3, which doesn’t exist. Current RHEL is 10.x, this must’ve been done in a TARDIS.
14.3 seems to come from some Red Hat-specific GCC version, which can be reported as "gcc (GCC) 14.3.1 20250617 (Red Hat 14.3.1-2)". See these random examples I found by googling:
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/40741 (gcc version "Red Hat 14.3" included in system version at the bottom)
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/tuxedo/22/otxig/s...
On the same line it says kernel version 6.12.0-124.45.1.el10_1. Which is RHEL 10. This is the kind of typo that humans make -- the hard to type numbers are accurate because they're cut and pasted, but the "easy" numbers have errors because they're not cut and pasted.
ugh sorry should be fixed. There was some scrambling to get more info together to explain the issue (and yes, obviously marketing), so there are some minor mistakes. Thanks for pointing it out!
Hope the 'marketing' had the desired effect. This entire article of pure AI noise was an absolute slog to get through to get to useful information. I have no idea how you view that as positive advertising.
> obviously marketing
Why marketing though?
because we're a company and we want to make money to continue to fund cool research, and help our customers secure their software :)

yeah, I assumed the whole thing was AI slop when I saw EL14...

> and yes, RHEL 14.3 doesn't exist We meant to say RHEL 10.1. Sorry for the confusion!

I have no idea about this page, but Theori/Xint has a staff of veterans, they are a serious thing.
The fact that they have no idea RHEL 14, probably the most well known enterprise distro, is not a thing, and yet they "directly verified on it" casts some doubt on seriousness.

Dropping a public exploit on github before distros have patches available isn't very cool, or is that just how veterans roll these days?
