1/ linux is as vulnerable to kernel panics induced by such software. In fact, CS had a similar snafu mid April, affecting linux kernels. Luckily, there are far fewer moronic companies running CS on linux boxes at scale.
2/ it does offer protection - if you are running total shit architecture and you need to trust your endpoints not to be compromised, something like this is sadly a must.
Incidentally, google, which prides itself at running a zero-trust architecture, sent a lot of people home on Friday. Not so zero-trust after all, it seems.
