Since every copy of linux installs BIND by default this exploit is the work of the very shoddy linux developers. This is just one more reason not to trust linux or even install it, because somewhere between having BIND and telnet installed by default its just inherently insecure and there is nothing you can do about it. Please make the switch away from linux now if you value your data and the internet. Meanwhile I'll be sitting here laughing as the linux fanboys are lighting up gcc and downloading code and spending hours recompiling and reconfiguring while my computer "just works."
