Re: Out of Office AutoReply: Signature Database is Gone [OT or Administrivia?]

[Matt Kettler <mkettler () evi-inc com>]

As an even more aside, have you noticed some of the particularly old 
versions of OE being used to post to the snort list? I've not done a deep 
check on patches, but last I read I believed all 5.00's were vulnerable to 
an exploitable overflow parsing the date field if used in POP (ie not MAPI) 
mode.

Since may there have been postings by a few different old versions of OE:

5.00.2615.200
5.00.2919.6700
5.00.3018.1300
