CERT is aware of quite few exploits, and this is one of the larger ones.

Many smaller ones include causing buffer overruns (including the Gimp exploit and hacked ISDN packet exploits).
There are many more than you care to admit, so I guess I'll just leave it at that. If you want to run around with only a firewall I have no complaint. But telling others that is all they need is not responsible IMO.

Linux is indeed 'safer' no argument there. It is a lot more user controlled, and many people switch to it every day. They need to know it is not bulletproof.
