Most Linux distributions rely on public CVE information for security
updates, I fixed 4 vulnerabilities[1], but to date, only one
vulnerability has been assigned a CVE number (CVE-2022-45939), so most
Linux distributions have not fixed the other three vulnerabilities.

Depending on the distro security updates are only available for Linux,
BSD etc, while Windows users cannot update automatically.
