BLSH, this guy now describe something that is the real threat

It is the UNIX (e.g. Linux) that is very likely to be hit by this
bug.

If there is a UNIX box that allows telnet and allows people to
compile C programs, this box is now almost useless. You don't
know who is going to execute this little program suddenly and
everyone is affected.

The only solution at the moment is to disable telnet(or dialup).

This is a real opportunity for AMD/Cyrix to sell into the Linux
community.
