At least behind a firewall if you get hit by a nasty its you that 
initiated the activity

AIUI the bug requires at least user level (machine) code running on the 
target

So java or javascript wont cut the mustard. I.e. you have to download 
and install some 'compiled'  malware..

I may be wrong but thats how I thought it worked

Amd that means probably a compromised distro source - but if that is the 
case then as we have found with systemd, root level malware can be 
installed anyway.
