I completly agree this point.

For now, only concrete thing I saw about this rumor was kind of social
engineering stuff based on some "Bet you I can root your box through TCP
stack ?" challenge aimed to have target admin trace the attack using a
vulnerable tcpdump.

I can be wrong, but it seems to me quite difficult to have a kernel
exploit that works on both BSD and Linux, using the same
vulnerability...
