So much
confirmation bias
When the developer of the exploit says it isn't a kernel exploit, everyone disregards him. This developer has actually released things
he has made, not just leaked stuff from others. Many other community members repeatedly post that it is
not a kernel exploit, but again they are disregarded.
And then you have someone with a 2 post count say "Guys it is confirmed kernel exploit it uses a service" and everyone will latch on to this information like it is prophecy. Yes, we all want custom firmware and what-not, but speculation and a 10-page thread are not the way to get there. If you don't want to wait for smealum to release source (if he ever does, it would be nice), then just RE it.
Relys looks like he is making good progress.
