Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems to be fully disclosed in 2 weeks with no working fix yet

Tweet not found, not even when I change the URL to go directly to Twitter. Was it deleted?
- The Twitter account has been privated and there are no news stories about it. Other communities where this has been shared are reasonably suspicious.
  
  I found this talking about the tweet. Nothing more.
- Copying my reply from another thread:
  This link should be working.
  Quoting from the OP tweet:
  Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
  Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
  Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
  Still no working fix.
  Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
  Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.
  I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

oh it's the same guy who makes OpenSnitch and such? Unfortunately in that case it's most likely legit
- I tried OpenSnitch but it would always randomly crash while interacting with the GUI, and it would reset all my tcp connections every time you start it back up.
