Re: Scare story?
The second one is, and has already been patched.
Like most Linux vulns, that one was patched before it hit the news.
Note that whenever there's a Windows hole in the news it usually says "Microsoft will start pushing out an update..." and when there's a Linux hole in the news it usually says "A patch is available". That's because Linux security holes usually get patched quicker than reporters can write about them while Windows security holes get patched on Tuesday.
