No, You Are Not Getting a CVE for That (as it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/25

A great rambling on “It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway” (I really want that printed on a T-Shirt):

[Wayback/Archive] No, You Are Not Getting a CVE for That.

Lot’s of references by [Wayback/Archive] Parsia to great posts by [Wayback/Archive] Raymond Chen mainly on security issues that are not: there is only a vulnerability when you get from the other side of the outside of the airtight hatchway to the inside, not when you are already inside.

And of course this great reference to H2G2 (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), a trilogy in five parts by Douglas Adams:

Arthur: But can’t you think of something?!
Ford: I did.
Arthur: You did!
Ford: Unfortunately, it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway—
Arthur: oh.
Ford: —that’s just sealed behind us.
Douglas Adams —Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Fit The Second

This site will redirect you to your localised version (which means the archived links are titled “Clothing for nerds & geeks — getDigital”) [Wayback/Archive] Kleding voor nerds en geeks — getDigital.

It is originally German (see below links) and the T-shirt quality is quite OK.
