If Emacs gets an auto-updater, or even an auto-checker for updates, like some
common operating systems and web browsers have, then this bug would become an
actual problem, enabling denial-of-service attacks. Since Emacs is an OS, and
now a web browser too, it might get an auto-updater or auto-checker.
Even so, it would only enable DOS attacks, nothing more.
