Guys, it's been public for a number of days already. You don't need any
advanced knowledge to google the name of the exploit and find
instructions on how to run it. Updates are available - if you're
concerned about how this may affect your Fedora boxes you should install
them as soon as possible or take other steps to mitigate the risk.
