The "such exploits" refers to buffer overrun type exploits (I don't know the correct terminology). e.g. the flash exploit reported last June -- the one that made 64-bit plugin discontinued. Mostly the web based exploits. They exploit certain bugs in application/library. But the exploitable bugs are usually discovered and patched before any actual exploit takes place. I know none that successfully exploited a linux system and that is my "ZERO". -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
