It's a very badly targeted article. It reads like celebrity gossip, but the subject matter isn't for the kind of people that read that stuff. The people who are interested in this subject don't need their bottoms wiped for them.

I bailed out halfway through. I still don't know what servers are vulnerable.




I also clicked through to an earlier article of theirs, about a dns issue. That was even harder to get through: I still don't understand the vulnerability exactly after reading the whole thing. It tries to explain every detail and somehow loses me in the weeds; I think a simple Python PoC would have been more clear than the long post. Compared to that, they're improving! This article is pretty clear about the mechanism once you get to it.
