Software vendor (Kmart) notified.  I am the hardware vendor, so no
notification is needed.

I've done some preliminary analysis of this problem, and it appears to be
much worse than the earlier Sock vulnerabilities. This particular ware ships
with _three_ unpatched holes, and occasionally a fourth that is only
slightly secured.

Nevertheless, it was deeply irresponsible of y0himba to disclose this
information without first notifying the manufacturer, and allowing them the
time to investigate these holes and patch them.
