Description
The story behind a recent blogpost of ours: https://engineering.skroutz.gr/blog/uncovering-a-24-year-old-bug-in-the-linux-kernel/
I will try to cover the aspects not covered extensively in the blogpost, i.e. the interaction with the Linux kernel community, the availability of tools and how it has impacted kernel debugging over time, etc. Additionally, I will comment on the responses to the post itself, demonstrating why this bug may have remained uncovered for 24 years.
