    Why are you lying? One is a privilege exploit that has been patched. It lets someone who can already run software on your machine do more. This is a backdoor that could allow hostile governments or thieves to steal your files from any machine in their possession. Things what would always have been secure on any Linux machine from the last 20 years.

      Lying? Copy Fail is big news and was introduced into the kernel years ago. Sounds very similar in the way it was introduced and the ease of exploitation if you have access to a machine.
