Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’ assigned CVE-2022-38392 for crashing laptops

... or another reason not to play 1989's Rhythm Nation – it messes with some hard disk drives:

"[...]It turns out that the song contained one of the natural resonant frequencies for the model of 5400 rpm laptop hard drives that they and other manufacturers used.

The manufacturer worked around the problem by adding a custom filter in the audio pipeline that detected and removed the offending frequencies during audio playback. [...]"

This now has been filed officially as CVE-2022-38392 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-38392).
