Linux It's the end of the world. Again. According to some Linux developers and security researchers, a bug in the Linux kernel has just been uncovered that makes just about every distribution utilizing kernel 2.4 and 2.6 on just about all architectures since May of 2001 vulnerable to a certain kind of attack.

Hmm.. You would be right if it was a bug that was KNOWN for 8 years. Fact is - this bug is only discovered a short while ago and is already being taken care of...


That is a valid point, however, the fact that it was just published does not mean that no one else have known about it for years.

But I do see your point.
