Bugtraq: RE: [VulnWatch] Details of Sybase ASE bugs withheld

["Marchand, Tom" <Tom.Marchand () bcbsfl com>]

If the bug was found by disassembling Sybase's code then Sybase probably does have a legal position to do this.  I 
haven't read Sybase's EULA but most have a provision prohibiting reverse engineering of code.
