Dear 3APA3A,

you are absolutely right. Overwriting EIP does not 
necessary mean that the application is exploitable. 
Neither we claim that in our advisory. So, technically 
speaking, consider this a "bug" or "buffer overflow 
condition" rather than vulnerability.

Thanks God for semantics :)

Please explain why is this "vulnerability" and not "just > the bug".
