I trust that there would have been a different QA process had it been a critical, remotely exploitable, bug ? Over a week from a published exploit *and* an upstream fix to release a kernel is not good.

I don't have access to the tracking bugs, so there may be a good reason,
but frankly I'm surprised that this bug wasn't fixed by applying the
upstream patch to the last kernel that Quality Engineering approved, and released with only abbreviated QA.
