Summary
I know, I know. It's all you're hearing about. That, and the number 4 . Don't get me wrong, there's clearly a bug here and it really does matter. But this is not easy to exploit. It is certainly nowhere near as eay as Log4Shell/Heartbleed/RoRYaml etc. EDIT: Putting this up here so people read it. You should patch your servers anyway. There is a real vulnerability here, but exploiting it is significantly harder than people are making it out to be - it is certainly not as easy as e.g. log4shell. Justify yourself, you lunatic!
