>nine years

It's been patched. There's also no evidence that it was exploited prior to recently.

>Disclosure of the nine-year-old vulnerability came the same week that Google researcher Kees Cook published research showing that the average lifetime of a Linux bug is five years.

... and people wonder why Google are making their own kernel, Linux is a fucking mess and the MS research on common coupling complexity was right, things are just getting worse.

Hey OP, you're right!
And TLS is bad too because it had the Heartbleed bug! We should all switch to unencrypted HTTP streams.

>Not even once

Time to go back to Windows, where major bugs are discovered weekly rather than yearly.

Local attack or badly secured ssh required. I guess this hurts the server or enterprise environment ,but not desktop users. And still no information on a single real world attack so i guess 1337 hackers are lazier in auditing the code for vulnerabilities than linux is in fixing it.

A company once gave me this exact reason for not using https for their sites login forms.

>>57164728
>reductio ad absurdum
You realize that's an actual type of argument and not a logical fallacy, right?

>>57164728
It's not being reduced to absurdity, because "I won't use TLS because of heartbleed" is on the same level of silliness as "I won't use Linux because of this bug".

>tfw people in the comments of the article still think Linux is mainly developed by unpaid virgin neets
>other people fear someone might root their phone with an app from Google's store and watch them masturbate on the toilet or something
No one is even mentioning poor embedded devices ;(
