Ask HN: Are there examples of zero-click exploit chains targeting Linux systems?

iOS and Android systems are often targeted with exploit chains. Are (non-Android) Linux systems also targeted in this way? For example, a vulnerability in libvpx that was discovered a few months ago exposed browsers to zero-click exploits.[1]

fyi linux being linux is more of an umbrella term for a collection of operating systems, with usually basic linux kernel + additional kernel features + user mode & desktop stuff. many times it isn't a generic linux vuln but something more specific (comparable example is a Samsung-specific vuln which is subtype of Android) unless it's really core linux bug.
