Looking over the links, this security hole seems to be related to Linux distros.

I've looked over the posts and not sure if this is a meaningful security exploit or not .... meaningful as in the sense that you're likely to have a bad outcome. Some of the chatter on the internet related to this don't even seen to know what Calibre is for.
