And even that isn't one size fits all. If the exploit is a -rc only, or
even a newly released kernel. Is it that critical to get it fixed ASAP?
I would think that the kernel releases takes time before they get to
users main machines.
I would suspect that machines that allow unprivileged users would be
running distro kernels, and not the latest release from Linus, and thus
even a bug that "can allow an unprivileged user to crash the kernel" may
still be able to sit around for a month before being submitted.
This wouldn't be the case if the bug was in older kernels that are being
used.
