Hi Sergio 'shadown' Alvarez,


just in case you didn't realize...if you have the exploit to generate
the signature, you already know what the vulnerability is.
        Exploit-based signatures are usually generated by finding the artifacts in a number of exploit samples. Thus, 
having exploit-based signature does't mean that we already know the vulnerability.   

cheers,
Yong
