From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"oh but Debian only has old stuff" , yeah sure. :P
They patch stuff like this fast because it's a remote exploit. Local privilege escalation exploits are fixed much slower.
I know, I know, but trust me that a lot of people believe that they don’t issue security patches fast.
LTS means security fixes, but little else if any. good luck if you need a feature that came out a year ago it's not in the repo yet
PoC on 32 bit requires thousands of authentication attempts, so any sane firewall should protect you against it already. Afaik there isnt any for 64 bit
