kruk When a ring 3 userspace program gets ring 0 kernel privileges you will change your mind (info on what are protection rings) ...

Please, don't take these bugs lightly, it could be a costly mistake.

When, how, why and if that happens, I will deal with it then. I am not the NSA, I have no true sensitive information in my system. I do have a desire for my system to work at its full potential, like it's doing right now. I have yet to see one report of a user on this planet with over 7 billion human beings having their system exploited by this vulnerability. I have heard though that some users in Germany were tricked into downloading malware because of this artificial crisis. Now I hear a lot of people are having random restarts after downloading this cancer right here. Well, it looks to me that maybe, people who jumped on this bandwagon were the foolish ones and my initial instinct to wait until this is sorted was kinda right. When I will hear that this vulnerability is being widely exploited all around the world and there is a real security risk for my system, I'll consider downloading the final patch for this problem, not the beta cancer people downloaded now. In the mean time, like I've said from the start, the only reasons to do such a thing are to willingly gimp your CPU and to destroy your system's stability. As there is no threat, right now, not tomorrow, not in imagination land, not one year from now, those are the only reasons why you would download such a thing at this time...
