That exploit is kernel-level (nothing to do with Trinity, can be found even
on headless servers).  It's been corrected in kernel version 4.7, so build a
new kernel if you're really worried, or follow your distro's instructions on
what to do if they have any.

Personally, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
