The "such exploits" refers to buffer overrun type exploits (I don't
know the correct terminology). e.g. the flash exploit reported last
June -- the one that made 64-bit plugin discontinued. Mostly the web
based exploits.

They exploit certain bugs in application/library. But the exploitable
bugs are usually discovered and patched before any actual exploit
takes place. I know none that successfully exploited a linux system
and that is my "ZERO".
