I see your wonky authentication bypass and raise you a local privilege escalation that is 100% reliable on every distro that's shipped a 3.3-3.8 kernel (last 18 months or so)

bad times :/

Actually it is already fixed in many distros. For example in Arch Linux it took a day to fix since the CVE request: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34005 http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q1/420

On the other hand my system here still crashes if I type file:/// with one big letter.

Linux 3.3 came out 2012-03-18, that's just less than 12 months ago.
