    This is the perfect kind of bug...

    A single TCP packet can reboot the system. By next week, these packets will be arriving at every IPv4 address every few minutes.

    It will force updates to be installed, but not risk private user data in the meantime.

      Back in olden days, Windows used to get pwned as soon as it was connected to the internet.
