Hmm, anyone else find this interesting? I haven't looked into the actual exploit itself yet, but having it work on Android, which has SELinux and/or other protections by default, but not on (presumably) a generic Linux distro, is weird.

I would have assumed it exploited something present only on mobile builds of Chrome, but it affects Windows as well. Odd.

Okay, just noticed that the Windows exploits are independent, don't know how I missed that.

The Android vs Linux part still stands though.
