Thanks for the notice in advance.
I do not see anything on oss-security mailing list yet. Especially nothing
actionable. Being embargoed could be a reason for that.
But in what you quoted from a slashdot source you did not provide a link
to "no working fix is still available".
So how do you come to conclusion that a re-install will help?
I wait for independent confirmation and something actionable.
And otherwise install updates timely. Maybe with that I will have a fix
once the issue, if there truly is any, is made public.
With security issues it is important to stay clear-headed. And prepare to
act when there is something actionable instead of doing something random
in the sheer hope it may help.
