I don't know that I've actually heard of a Linux vulnerability before, but especially not this bad. It was a good streak and I'm sure it will be patched quickly.
It's not even a Linux vulnerability, it's an issue with the UEFI shim.
I guess I've still never heard of a major Linux vulnerability then.
