Thanks for the tip. I run Fedora 20. It has the same vulnerability, but 
no patch was issued yet. Hopefully the patch is in the pipeline.

For me it is not that urgent as my machines have no open ports to the 
internet (no open servers). However, I will feel better when this is 
patched. It is a pretty simple way to break in. Yes, I really fear 
script kiddies -- of any age -- xD.

Guus.
