Highlights

1 high-severity fix in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Privilege Escalation: Bypassing restrictions on raw memory device interfaces (like kmem) allows arbitrary kernel memory manipulation and full system compromise. The risk is high because boot arguments could be abused to expose these interfaces outside of authenticated debugging sessions.
