Unless he is merely blowing smoke, it would seem that he discovered some little twist that makes the known vulnerability much more easily exploitable than previously assumed. That would explain his statement: the patch fixes a well known vulnerability, and as a side effect stops the more serious attack, in effect making it hard to tell what is involved in that attack from reading the patch. - Harald --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
