ISS discovered the loophole in October and has been working with Sun and CERT on a fix, said Ingevaldson This is how SUNW handled a similar situation. And, I agree with SUNW and MSFT that this is how it should be handled. The hackers don't know about it. Not until a fix is announced. That's why you don't announce the problem before the fix is available. Pretty basic and pretty industry standard. Any other approach would be "nutso" as I stated before. Dave
