And the commentary at https://twitter.com/bluespacecanary/status/1417604721246801923:

“linux kernel rooted using just mkdir, mount, rmdir, open(), and read() because a size_t tracking the size of a buffer got passed to a method which takes a signed int” is the most C shit ever lmao I love computers

I agree, this is the most C bug ever geez
