Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How the CopyFail disclosure went sideways
Q: Why did you decide to publish before the distributions had patches ready, and how do you respond to criticisms about that timing?
They acknowledge it was a nuanced decision, arguing that once a CVE is public and patches exist in kernel, attackers can still exploit if they monitor patches closely; they admit it could have been communicated more broadly to other distros, and that better alignment with downstream maintainers is a goal for next time.
How the CopyFail disclosure went sideways
Q: Can you walk us through how the disclosure steps unfolded and why you chose to go public despite patch gaps in the distributions?
The team explains that they disclosed to the Linux kernel mailing list and coordinated with the kernel security group, followed by a CVE, and then publicly discussed the gaps with patches lagging in distributions, emphasizing that this timeline balanced public awareness with the reality that patches were still catching up.
What a great agentic AI deployment plan looks like
Q: What is the core idea behind the AI deployment advisory they want to see?
The advisory should be milestone-driven, balancing speed with governance, and progressing from AI abstinence to enterprise-grade, audited autonomous actions, while keeping stakeholders aligned and enforcing proper controls.
Mythos smythos! How to find 0day with lesser models
Q: What is Iron Curtain and why is it important?
Iron Curtain is a sandbox-like framework that uses natural-language policy descriptions to govern what an agent can do, enabling a secure, auditable harness around model-driven actions and enabling reproducible vulnerability discovery with strong containment.
Mythos smythos! How to find 0day with lesser models
Q: What prompted the shift from building secure systems to using AI to find vulnerabilities?
The guest explains that as he built code and deployed it, he worried about vulnerabilities being introduced by gaps in line-by-line review. AI-enabled tooling offered a way to review and test more comprehensively, driving a shift from pure defensive focus to vulnerability discovery and verification through orchestration and harnesses.
