If you don't run untrusted code you have nothing to worry about.

Too bad for the fools who tried to convince you it was ever a good idea to rent computing time on some machine far away over the Internet and shared with a hundred or thousand other strangers... they're the ones getting burned the most by this and I have no pity for them.
