one person,
not a proof of concept
not even a perfectly valid way but unexploited.

one person who had enough of Linux
after viewing a PNG logo
and having his computer taken hostage.

i will read it though,
lib"Images" has been plaguing Windows and Linux as a security flaw
for long.

But noone got into a Linux box (afaik) via this method
(Then again I don't know if anyone has compromised Windows in a similar way)
There is theory - and - there is practice.

Even an anomalous RTF file can compromise a Windows Box
via WordPad. That bug was fixed.
