I like how "Am I affected by the bug?" part checks your user agent string for "Linux" and says "yes" or "no" accordingly.

As if I wasn't reading that page from a phone while running Linux on a server. Then again, the exploit didn't work for me on unpatched 3.4.112 kernel, so it might actually be correct.

I don't think it's checking is quite right. It says 'yes' when I'm viewing the page on a Windows phone!
