I find the demand to test the fix within 5 days, combined with the threat of dropping the patch otherwise, unreasonable.

In my original report of this security problem I have already provided a script that allows to reproduce the problem and check if it still exists.

Requiring an answer within 5 days is too short, after all people can be on holiday or just busy for other reasons.

And even if I as the original submitter wouldn't respond at all, this is a real security problem in Ubuntu that was already confirmed. Are you really going to drop the patch and let CVE-2018-6559 stay unfixed forever?

Maybe I will find the time to test it on Bionic, but I will certainly not install a different version of Ubuntu than the one I am currently running.

I hope that this is all just a misunderstanding and the message does not apply to security problems. In this case please consider changing the message or improving the process such that this confusion will be avoided for future reports.
