@davidgerard According to this page:

https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/10/21/todays-php-security-release-and-how-were-strengthening-php-security/

they were informed of one of the vulnerabilities in 2024, and wasted much of the intervening time arguing about how to fix it. So I'm not sure this one qualifies as "quick fix".

(Still glad to not be running any PHP on anything I manage...)

@mattst88 @amonakov Stuff on the lists, though, includes self-extracting compressed kernel images, perf improvements, and 700 lines of Tsunami machine-check work. The potatoes are growing :)

One can argue that this work is low-risk and hurts nobody, but one can also certainly ask whether the mainline kernel should still be adding features to a long-dead architecture.

Scanning the linux-kernel mailing list just now (a bad habit I have), I see patches to add significant features to the Alpha architecture, convert Perl scripts that haven't been touched in decades to Python, and replace user and group IDs with UUIDs.

Not sure how we ever got by without these wonderful new tools.
