Researchers disclose a 55-year-old vulnerability affecting macOS, Windows and Linux. Exploitation is trivial and requires no special tools. No patch exists.
Not even that, it’s not a problem at all. They’re just saying that when you open a terminal program you get access to the shell. That is exactly the point of a terminal program. It’s a bit like “exclusive, shocking report: water is wet!”

That’s why I confessed. I’m glad to help.
I’m here cautiously making sure it’s a joke that I don’t understand. Problem exists between keyboard and seat.
