Well, I had seen it before and I didn't track it through every version 
as I was not Perl savvy.  When i find issues with products; and I 
understand the issue; and it hasn't been disclosed already - I disclose 
it in the interest of public security.  I reported this issue in 
particular because from what I  could recall it could effect multiple 
versions of ASSP - of which an undocumented number of users could be 
using.  Without reporting, users not following this list or keeping up 
with betas might never know.  The Full-Disclosure list is a gateway to 
getting security issues into bug-tracking databases.  As perhaps they 
receive Secunia vulnerability reports like I do, so I can be notified 
immediately when a security vulnerability has been documented.

It didn't have anything to do with any of the work that is actually 
being done with ASSP.  It only had to do with public awareness.  Nothing 
more should be taken from it.

I pissed off Symantec pretty bad a couple of years ago - but they 
wouldn't respond to my email reports about an issue.  It wasn't my 
intent to piss-off Symantec, but the issue allowed for a bypass of 
administrative controls on their corporate antivirus software.
