[ale] CRITICAL LINUX FLAW OPENS THE DOOR TO FULL ROOT ACCESS (RHE)

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

And you're shouting because...?

As the article notes RedHat released patches already.   It also notes this is an issue only for systems that use dhcp and finally notes that one has to be on the same network with the machines in question.    The discussion notes this is more a user for laptop users on external wifi than for anything else.
