[tlug] 28 Backspaces



Okay, so I went to this article to get my daily dose of panic:

http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-hack-any-linux-machine-just-using-backspace/?tag=nl.e539&s_cid=e539&ttag=e539&ftag=TRE17cfd61

and, I've gotta admit, I am concerned by what I read there.

So, I went to the GITHub D/L site (link is embedded in the above article) and grabbed the patch. I double clicked, got the diff found ... and newbie me doesn't know what to do next. Do I manually locate and patch those lines in the two files or is there some command to give that automates the cut-and-replace process?

Just when I start to believe I have some of this figured out ...
