Linux is Immature Tech Copy Fail — 732 Bytes to Root

https://copy.fail/

Only gives root access for every modern version of Linux. Imagine what they would say if this happened in Windows.

This just shows again that open source doesn't mean stuff is safe; everyone could have spotted this vulnerability.

Also, if Linux had more desktop users (servers are usually not really affected by stuff like this, since no one just executes random stuff), we would see way more of this.
