WTF Ubuntu?

A critical Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432, CVSS 9.8) that enables remote root access has been unpatched on Ubuntu for over two weeks despite Debian and volunteer-run distros releasing fixes, prompting the author to migrate all their servers away from Ubuntu due to broken trust in the company's security response despite its marketing promises of "timely patches." The irony is sharpened by the fact that Canonical, Ubuntu's commercial backer, sells security subscriptions while falling behind volunteer-maintained distributions in actually delivering security updates.
