I'm the guy who called the vulnerability unconfirmed -- at the time, it
was.  What's the big deal?

It's prudent to use words like 'supposedly' or 'possibily' when you're
working from second-hand information, especially from an unsigned
anonymous hushmail post like gta's.  I didn't have the means nor desire
to test it at the time, so I left it at that.

To be honest, I'm a bit concerned that we've only seen one
publically-released exploit so far.
