Quite. I saw one thing saying that an unspecified Mars lander (Curiosity?) ran the vulnerable lzo version and could be at risk. From whom? Martians, who would have physical access if they existed? Another major world power with a deep space tracking network that wants to break Curiosity?

(Yeah, right. Threat model, guys: you don't have one.)
