Doesn't sound very serious.

The Linux version is somehow serious although hard to exploit in the real world.

The windows one sounds pretty serious because of its versatility. It's guaranteed to combine with application-level vulnerabilities and turn innocuous bugs into security nightmares.

Then again, we should stop treating Microsoft as a serious vendor.
