Ahh, but there's the problem - how do you know who knows the details of the
bug? Maybe someone with less reason to disclose than eEye found the overflow
first.

I don't want to kick-off the whole full-disclosure debate on here, as that's
way off topic. But assuming that eEye are following responsible practices,
they wont make the details public until Ipswitch have had a chance to fix
affected versions for their customers. The fact that they havent released an
advisory could be evidence that Ipswitch are working on further fixes??
