Yet another "catastrophic" Linux security threat that will be fixed within
days. You realize that Cyber Security News makes their case for existence by
hyperventilating about potential "catastrophic" security threats, right?

It looks like it only affects the « ssh » access, so if you have no ssh
access on your computer, you don't have to worry. Now, as nobody knows
anything about it, it's difficult to guess how a « ssh » access can be
protected. We'll need to wait for a few days to know if it's easier to
exploit or to protect a « ssh » connexion.
