It’s not even once a week now. The future looks gloomy, my dear fellas.

Totally agree. I can see how hard the vendor’s teams are working to get it mitigated within an acceptable timeframe. I’m just worried about how long they’ll be able to keep up this pace.

It is not as wild as it looks. There is already a fix, even though it has not yet a CVE number. Which means this has been taken care of way faster than things happen on the Microsoft or Apple front.

Yes, it is annoying to see new critical bugs nearly daily, but as long as they get fixed as fast as they pop up, a fixed bug is a fixed bug, and one less way for hackers and three-letter-agencies to exploit.
