		fragmede on Dec 8, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 5Ghoul: Unleashing Chaos on 5G Edge Devices I don't think it's stupid because I can't, off the top of my head, tell you the CVE number for Heartbleed, despite being very involved with it for a couple of weeks. Heartbleed I remember, along with Spectre/Meltdown, but I couldn't name the weak exploits that turn out to be nothing burgers. Log4j could have used a brand though, imo.

How often do you need CVE numbers while simultaneously being unable to google for the CVE number?

Because everyone called it heartbleed.

I still remember some of the big ones like MS03-026/031, MS08-067, CVE-2005-1042.
