To summarize what John was pointing to, there are three vulnerabilities
covered. One is a DOS and the other two are buffer overruns. The buffer
overruns could allow an attacker to "...take any action on the system,
including installing programs, viewing, changing or deleting data, or
creating new accounts with full privileges."

Yes, boys and girls, we are going to do it again! Maybe this time we will
get a better response from users... Gee I live in a fantasy world sometimes.
