    I don’t know that I’ve actually heard of a Linux vulnerability before, but especially not this bad. It was a good streak and I’m sure it will be patched quickly.

      This flaw is not really that bad because it requires the attacker to already have total and complete control over the system already. For example, if they were able to steal the root password.

      This flaw just makes it easier for the attacker to hide and harder to evict them.
