and if you have a webserver and the webserver can be easily
killed with a DOS the bug is CRITICAL, if you can kill any
PUBLIC SERVICE remote a bug is CRITICAL

what exactly do you not understand while these are
simple facts - your definition of critical is broken
if you think anything where you can not get into the
machine is not

and yes i tried the demo-exploits which killed a quad-core with 16
GB memory within some seconds
