Re: Late Gate

The first I knew about this particular vulnerability was the day that the fix became available. Like most onlookers. Even then, the actual mechanics of the vulnerability were not announced, making life difficult for would-be miscreants.

I’d like to know the kind of world (in the absence of a functioning time machine) you imagine where a fix for a zero-day vulnerability is released ahead of its discovery and announcement.
