screenshot of vx-underground post: There's some noise in the infosec vulnerability and blue team space about an alleged 9.9 CVE score impacting all GNU/Linux systems. Due to lack of details, some users have expressed criticism on the severity of the exploit — with the infamous Heartbleed being a 7.5 CVE. Some expressed concern that the exploit is overhyped, or acting as marketing material for the researcher. Others have noted that they believe the exploit is real and possess a genuine score of 9.9 but question the impact of effecting [sic] all GNU/Linux systems. From what we've seen, nobody knows anything and everyone is just yappin. We'll see what happens when the details are released. When we said users, we mean nerds on social media.
