Hey there.

I know this should probably be aimed at the devel list, but i'm not 
subscribed, and i suspect that most people on the devel list also subscribe 
this one.

Is it possible that there is a vulnerability with the submission of private 
keys to in-freenet keyindeces while inserting the data for that key.

OK, that probably wasn't that clear, here is an example:

If I enter:

finsert -keyIndex snarfoo -htl 40 SSK@(priv-key)/image.jpg c:\images\image.jpg

then there is output at the end of the process that my key has been added 
to snarfoo under KSK@snarfoo1 (or a similar key)
this key can be retrieved by anyone
and i have downloaded such a key which subsequently gives the key:

SSK@(priv-key)/image.jpg
_not_:
SSK@(pub-key)/image.jpg

In my opinion this is a vulnerability, and should be fixed soon, perhaps 
also warranting a new release

good luck.
