practically need to rotate logs every hour if you foolishly leave ssh open on a open network. usually a bastion with ssh listening to port 34000 or such is a good first step.

that said the conditions for this exploit are fascinating. no pam, shadow password set to *, using a alternative to glibc. The sacrifices to be more efficient feel on par with replacing a tank's armor with paper mache and hope.
