The good news is there's already a patch. The bad news is that the fix isn't available for all Linux distributions yet. Here's what you can do in the meantime.
Yes but the problem is that people keep submitting the same bug again and again and again. Some bugs exist because they haven’t been spotted, but there’s a heckton of bugs that are known about, but no-one has been able to put forward a fix for them yet. Overloading people with duplicate reports just means that they have less time and brainspace available to spend on fixing bugs.
But it’s not the same person reporting the same bug multiple time but rather a new tool enabling multiple people to discover that same bug at the same time.
Not reporting it because “someone else probably will” is a sociopsychological phenomenon called diffusion of responsibility.

Duplicates don’t add anything to the conversation
