		Foxboron on Dec 31, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Linux Hardening Guide flash predates systemd by around 5-6 years. Flash has 1000+ CVEs. Systemd has less then 20. I don't think pointing at flash proves anything.

You believe the security of systemd is strong, and that CVEs are a sign of use and maturity, then you’re saying ~2 CVEs per year on average is compatible with good security.

I understand you believe this, but I don’t see how it’s rational.
