IMHO, the iDefense approach is highly questionable. But I won't argue with you in particular about it. However, it's highly surprising that the Apache developers call the iDefense approach "reasonable disclosure". Is it reasonable to disclose critical information on new security vulnerabilities to potential but paying blackhats *on* *the* *same* *day* *the* *vendors* *are* *notified*? -- Florian Weimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Stuttgart http://CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE/people/fw/ RUS-CERT fax +49-711-685-5898 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
