That document appears to describe a remote control application, not an 
exploit.  It's only useful once you have administrative access to the 
system in question.

I won't say that I don't think exploits against Linux systems exist, 
that would be naive.  But, I haven't yet seen any CVEs for GNU/Linux 
systems resulting from the Vault7 leaks.
