Wi-Fi software security bug could leave Android, Windows, Linux open to attack (Ars Technica)

It *very* much depends on the application whether ten denial of service attacks are better or worse than one arbitrary code execution (though of course an attacker could leverage the latter into the former, it is not a *guarantee*, so it may be that the tradeoff is better. Service guarantees for existing users sometimes matter a lot more than a guarantee that a single bad actor can't get away with anything.)
