Apparently it is active in the wild now. If a machine is not patched to
the hilt, which Fedora discourages with updates that make the machine
unusable once and awhile and upgrades needed several times a year it
seems, you have problems.

It is an exploit. It attacks Linux machines. That's proof that such
things exist. If they exist then zero day exploits also exist that
just have not been discovered yet. Safe is better than sorry.
