>If you run a mainstream distribution of Linux on a desktop computer, there's a good chance security researcher Chris Evans can hijack it when you do nothing more than open or even browse a specially crafted music file.
All you need to do is
chmod +x xploit.mp3
mplayer && ./xploit.mp3

and your whole system crashes. Check mate linuxfags.
>And in the event you're running Chrome on the just-released Fedora 25, his code-execution attack works as a classic drive-by.
In the event you're running a proprietary browser that isn't in the official repos on the experimental version of RedHats community supported OS he can use a code execution attack. Oh my!

wtf I love wangblows now

That's the equivalent of running xploit.mp3.exe on Windows, not playing a music file.
