1 Hi!

3 But… as far as I see, it was just _one_ attempt to access NULL pointer
4 because of very usual bug. The questions is, why is that triggered
5 CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_BRUTE? Isn't word "brute" suppose many similar incidents
6 happened in short period of time, not just one? As for me, killing all
7 user's processes and disabling it for 15 minutes after single attempt to
8 access NULL pointer sounds too cruel.
