Aha, sounds like typical (unfortunately), the case of the 'sads' on Ubuntus
behalf.
 This is what unfortunately stops somany people from reporting, just that
BIT of acknowledgemnt, even just a thanks on theyre webpage, but instead
they people think "oh well, this guy has probably raped 5000 boxes then
given us this" , it must be the approach of some companies, or they have
very pathetic secteams, (in ubuntus cause, -no comment rofl).
anyhow thx for clearing that up.
cheers,
xd

simply not understand that,your very techy :P
Anyhow, making a small .sh file for the bug would be cool.. if there is a
bug to be had.

hi GloW,

the bug appears real to me. ubuntu released an advisory [1]
and debian have a bug [2].

ubuntu's advisory moderately hurt my narcissistic ego
by not mentioning my humble name :(

i suppose they have a corporate policy to give credit to "whores only"
(this might be checked by examining which distros give credit
and which write ``it was discovered'')

as a minor boost to my narcissistic ego, ubuntu's advisory
didn't contain CVE(R) ID :)

next time ubuntu hurt my narcissistic ego, i will try the black market for
the bug.
