Interesting (?) bug

This: http://www.ngssoftware.com/advisories/high-risk-vulnerability-in-mac-os-x/ ...is a fairly straightforward format string bug, of the type that we've all been saying for a few years is amenable to automated detection. I found this one manually. Anyone have any comment on why it wasn't reported by anyone using an automated method? It's not unrelated to this (from April 2005): http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/display.php?type=vulnerabilities&id=240 In fact, it appears to have been 'revealed' by the fix to this issue in 2005. So I guess maybe I just reviewed vpnd at a propitious time? Then again, 2 years is a while, right? Cheers, -chris.
