> But this 'bug' turns all Linux/FreeBSD useless It just adds a new tool to crash such systems. The only remarkable thing about this bug is that it crashes the processor instead of crashing the OS. (And if you think a non-privileged program is not able to crash Linux - sorry, you are wrong). >It would hit small ISPs running these decent OS.
