Right - for desktop use though, there are Firefox and Chrome updates with mitigation. JavaScript exploits were the most dangerous desktop scenario. For servers running Ubuntu, what is the risk, as long as my services don't run arbitrar

The hostname is a domain name. Some domain names may not be hostnames, but all hostnames are domain names. So the entire domain name, which is also a hostname, is exposed.
