Rule of thumb: If anyone finds a real attack on AES, RSA or any other
major cipher you will read about it on the frontpage of the new york
times and everyone will run around trying to shutdown IT
infrastructure.

Try to actually read the paper. You'll find things like this.
"In this note we show that
a key component of AES in fact contains a backdoor the allows the
Belgian Government and The Catholic Church (the forces behind
Rijndael / AES design, who obviously hid the backdoor in the cipher) to
secretly eavesdrop on all AES communications."

This is clearly a joke paper.
