if your parser doesn’t successfully parse /dev/random, someone will eventually complain about it not being able to open their file missing every fourth byte that was created by someone who completely misunderstood the spec because some other program accidentally manages to open it due to bugs in that program’s parser. if your parser is two cycles too slow then on one specific model of cpu which was only ever bought by seven people you’ll drop frames, and that’s The End Of The World so we can’t possibly get rid of this giant pile of UB (that’s only faster because some of the bounds checks are getting optimized out)

sometimes people jam files together with cat so I hope your parser handles the file suddenly becoming a different file type midway through. this one too smart for his own good rear end in a top hat made one which does handle that in the 90s so if you don’t then you suck and should die

pseudorandom name posted:are torrents still encoded in the dumbest possible non-standard codecs and containers or have the adopted MPEG 4 yet? Everything released is in H.264 and mkv container. I'm more pissed that they have been slow to move to H.265 which has better compression and is supported by most devices since 2016. The solution to all this codec poo poo is Plex. It will transcode your stupid formats on the fly and let you play it back on whatever device you have.

the most recent comment currently saysquote:Issue is too old libebml in Ubuntu 18.04: libebml 1.3.6 fixes this issue. End of story: VLC is not vulnerable, whether this is 3.0.7.1 or even 3.0.4. The issue is in a 3rd party library, and it was fixed in VLC binaries version 3.0.3, out more than one year ago... so I completely understand why someone would look at an article titled "You Might Want to Uninstall VLC. Immediately." (how I first heard of this) and complain about fake news. even if the exploit was active it would just mean not opening any strange mkvs for a while.

Ubuntu 18.04 is the LTS release of what is, AFAIK, the most popular Linux distro. Now, you might say that it is reasonable to be annoyed by the fact that distro package is stuck in the stone age (been there, it is indeed annoying as gently caress), but 1) that does not make it fake news, 2) you should post it after you figure out that the problem is indeed caused by an obsolete version of a distro, not as one of the first comments on an issue. Or maybe I am the security idiot, who knows

Android is the most popular linux. Ubuntu is the most well known because people love trash, but RHEL variants are more popular for the one real, non-phone, use of linux which is on servers.
