OpenGL is a low(ish) level hardware interface, that is almost certainly implemented in legacy unsafe code, so it will be fertile ground for CVEs. Presumably this is a security fix gone wrong

Um, but 15.8.2 isn't released yet. Why is this such a crisis? It's normal to break stuff before you release.
Maybe they asked Claude to fix a vulnerability?
Can't have OpenGL security issues without an OpenGL context
