Re: Retrospective by 'gpg.fail' authors

Peter Gutmann replies to gpg.fail retrospective, pointing to PGP's arbitrary packet format as root of many past vulnerabilities.

Peter Gutmann posted a follow-up on oss-security referencing an Hacker News discussion of the gpg.fail authors' retrospective. The thread argues that a recurring source of severe PGP vulnerabilities is the format's permissive packet system, where a PGP message is a practically arbitrary stream of packets. This is discussion and retrospective analysis rather than a new disclosure.

Re: AI slops from Eve

Solar Designer finds little similarity between recent LLM-generated fake advisories on oss-security beyond missing Date headers.

A mailing-list thread discusses 'AI slops', LLM-generated fake security reports posted to oss-security. Solar Designer notes the suspicious messages share only trivial traits like a missing Date header and LLM use. He concludes there is no significant problem with any particular sender or model and no investigation is needed.
