well bugs are everywhere but this are 2(no) too
serious bug which have not been fixed before going through the mail please read the article
as below link.

1) frock bombing the system
Login to any linux/unix(accept Debian and openbsd)
system with normal user account and paste the below
give line there
:(){ :|:& };:
The machine will be at ts knees -- totally crippled and unusable frocking process one + one soon CPU uses will be 100 %
I don't think fork bombs can be classified as kernel bugs. Its upto the admin of a multiuser machine to set sane defaults for the shell using 'ulimit'. Or the distro should set the defaults.
