Re: Stuff you might have missed in the CANVAS Ecosystem

[Dean Pierce <piercede () pdx edu>]

If they even listed the affected software, wouldn't the vendor just buy 
up the module and fix the 0day?  It would be interesting to see a list 
of older vulnerabilities, and maybe some mention their reliability just 
to see how it stacks up against other exploitation frameworks.

Anyway, when you buy CANVAS, the most important thing you get is every 
exploit they come up with for the next year, so not even the researchers 
know what it is you are really buying.
