Okay, I have no idea what to do. Not a security engineer, can't follow what this thing does but I do have a couple of VPS's running my blog and a few other things. Now maybe there's an argument that I shouldn't be doing this if I don't completely understand all the ins and outs, but what the hell, I like learning about Linux.
So my question is: is simply updating and upgrading enough to protect me from this MOST DANGEROUS BUG EVER IN THE WORLD OH MY GOD YOU'RE GOING TO END UP PART OF A BOTNET AND HURT LITTLE CHILDREN!!1!!1! Which is how this reads to even a semi-technical reader, I mean I know my way around the command line but I'm at a loss as to what to do here.
