Comment (by nickm):
> Are we worried that memory disclosure vulnerabilities will ever de-
anonymise users?
Well, when I think of memory disclosure, in the worst case I think of
Heartbleed. That could have de-anonymized users FWICT.
> Remote crashes against clients aren't in our existing list, should they
be high or critical?
Hm. I would say "high". What would others say?
> The last sentence in the critical section should read "… any ability to
regain root privileges would be critical-severity."
Agreed.
