I'm a Linux kernel developer. I work at Positive Technologies (https://www.ptsecurity.com/) and specialize in Linux kernel security. 20 of my patches are applied to the Linux kernel mainline. Most important commits: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1a4bb93f795502e7e8350d4af1aa5909f15ffc28 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=63da8e0d4f274fdf73b9924e8fd8f64a3d11d24a https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=82f2341c94d270421f383641b7cd670e474db56b The latter is the fix for CVE-2017-2636 in the Linux kernel (https://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-2636), which I would like to speak about.
