And:
- how do you determine an "expoit attempt" from "userspace program
doing something stupid" / "corrupted filesytem mounted"?

I really don't like this, it means that our normal error handling for
userspace data will suddenly all have CVE entries on them over time.
How is that helpful to anyone?

Think ahead in 10-20 years, what is the code paths going to look like
then? Horrible...
