    The patches where proposed over a month ago and the patch to the kernel was commited on 1th of April.

    Either the Vulnerability was not proper communicated to the distro maintainers or they were the ones sleeping.

    This was probably executed as a responsible discllsure where clear timelines and release dates get communicated from the beginning.

    I find it hard to blame the security team here when there was 1 month of time between first commited patch and release of the PoC.

      are you sure? what I have seen in git patch dates is 11th for the unreleased 7.0, and yesterday for the LTS versions
