... has not been (effectively) patched against, as it happens. Maybe in December!

Standard operating procedure for both the Chrome [https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/s...] and Firefox [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/secu...] bug tracking systems.

But the fix itself is public in both the Chrome [https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/36dbbf3...] and Firefox [https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/ac605820636c3b96...] source repos, and it makes pretty clear what the bug is.

> Xiaogang (Cliff) Wang is listed as the principal investigator.

No, you are misreading the award abstract. Cliff Wang is the program manager at NSF who is the point of contact for the investigators.

Levine's /Linkers and Loaders/ is a great book, but it's still in print, and this is an unauthorized copy.

The author's home page (https://www.iecc.com/linker/) used to host a PostScript version for download, but it no longer does, now saying: "Chapters were available in an excessive variety of formats, but are not any longer due to chronic piracy."

These days there is lots of information about linkers and loaders to be had without violating Levine's copyright; see https://www.toolchains.net/ for many links.
