   "the file is intended to run explicitly by the victim on their Linux   
   machine."   
      
   It must also be run as root. Therefor this malware is not by itself a   
   vulnerability: obviously any program you run as root can do anything.   
   This thing is just a payload for an attack.  The actual vulnerability,   
   if any, is the method by which the user is induced to run the thing as   
   root.
