Good work, SA!

Nice - SA detected bogosity in this message, though differently than a 
human would (If I had gotten this message I would have been rolling on 
the floor laughing, it was so obviously bogus. First off it's worded in 
a strange way, fails to provide the usual bugtraq reference or technical 
description of the vulnerability, and more importantly, instead of 
providing a link to updated packages on a redhat.com server, it asks you 
to go download a tarball from some college student's home directory, to 
compile it and install it - oh sure, I'm going to go do that ;))

Thanks for the giggles,
