Calling someone a troll is like calling someone a racist. The term is overused so much it loses it's intended meaning and becomes a generic insult. Anything that uses "the unintended expanding of absolute paths by default when extracting tar files on the kindle" is what I call "the tar bug" and as I've said amazon will MOST LIKELY but not DEFINEATLY fix all use of this bug when they release a patch, so we should focus on finding new bugs instead of more uses for this one. Let ixtab have the credit for this one and we should all move on to looking for new bugs.
Now if I am wrong and your exploit makes no use of any variation of the tar bug, I sincerely apologize and hold my peace. Otherwise, I stand by my statement that we only have one exploit right now.
