From the article: "However, security researchers who understood the technical nature--and severity--of their findings, Ellch and Maynor were widely celebrated for their work, which was the trigger for the MoKB (Month of Kernel Bugs) project that launched with exploits for Wi-Fi driver vulnerabilities. Since the Black Hat talk, a slew of vendors--including Broadcom, D-Link, Toshiba and Apple--have shipped fixes for the same class of bugs identified by Ellch and Maynor, confirming the validity of their findings.
