Well I just went to security focus and searched on ATH0 since I knew I
saw this reported last year some time. 
I guess that the link I grabbed from the url did not reflect the frame
I was looking at. Sorry about that.

I found that URL gets me the Security Focus homepage, and whatever
semi-intelligent web scripting they use stays with the same URL as I
crawl
through the entire site, so some better pointer may be needed.  BTW,
there
was one interesting report that I got by substituting "bid/92" (bid ==
bugtraq id) for "announcements/82" after a search for the keyword
"modem"
that was perhaps somewhat relevent...
