If you read in depth my messages in Spanish, I'm talking about potential problems, not true and real ones.
Hypotetically talking, one malicious website can take control of your Kindle using some Webkit vulnerability allowing write into user partition the tar update file that will install whatever thing website wants.

yifanlu said, Webkit is a pretty secure web browser engine and it really is. Then, if you'll dig down to original thread about this exploit, you'll find a simple command that fix it without any negative consequences.
Anyway, I'm welcoming public discussion of this subject. It is
really serious breach and Amazon doesn't do anything to fix it (for all users) for about of two weeks.
