The Ubuntu releases in the last couple of days are actual software
issues in my opinion, not just poorly configured environments.

To be fair, this is what Microsoft has recommended, explicitly for the
purpose of preventing XSS, for *at least* the last 6 years. The library
I use does indeed encode "+" as "&#43;".

It is a security flaw, you've neither fixed it nor understood it. The
whole point of CSRF is that it works by using the victim's active
session. An easy scenario in the case of DD-WRT is one where a victim
reads a malicious "HOWTO" site, which has step by step instructions on
how to say, boost signal strength. The user opens one tab to read the

This vulnerability exposes Google's email servers in a way that allows an attacker to use them as open spam and phishing relays. This issue is related to the risk of a malicious user abusing Gmail's email forwarding functionality. This is possible because Gmail's email forwarding functionality does not impose proper security restrictions during its setup process and can be easily subverted. By exploiting this problem an attacker can send unlimited spam and phishing (i.e. forged) email messages that are delivered by Google's very own SMTP servers.

And there is also the infamous DT_RPATH (and DT_RUNPATH) that makes it

This happens quite often and I find it very disturbing.

I don't believe it is anything like the .NET functionality you mention.
After reading the article, I get the impression that this is specific to
HTTP and is a combination of virtual hosting and reverse proxy. (I may
be wrong, I only skimmed through the document.)
