How many vulnerabilities exist on windows that we know of? How many probably exist that we haven't yet discovered?

Linux vulns make the news though because it's so rare. Both of these exploits also need local access like a compromised ssh key or some other form of remote shell access. A firewall and functioning frontal lobe still stops both of these in their tracks.

    It's just crazy that both these exploits have a public PoC without them being patched yet. Sure you can disable certain parts of your system manually to temporarily patch them, but that's both manual and liable to break stuff.
