no, we can't.
no, we can't.
cause these kind of higly specific highly knowlegadble bugs are only part, and a very small one, of the security risks outhere.
most (if not all) are virus, trojans and a malware assortment. and on all those, specially on the virus parts, no *NIX system has issues.
so, that's the safety you should worry about.
do you have to worry about that on your system? then , you're not secure (as one can possible be).. *Nix systems are.
