"The US Navy has released details of its latest project, the DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer and a Total Shipboard Computing Environment (TSCE) which is based wholly on the Linux kernel."

Extract from News item in latest issue of Linux User & Developer - then on facing page tells of "Glibc hit by 'Ghost' vulnerability:

"...While the majority of supported distros have released backported patches to close the hole, the ubiquity of glibc means that many platforms, especially embedded systems could be vulnerable."
