Dear 3APA3A,

I didn't mentioned any DoS in my advisory. I clearly 
stated that it is a "bug" that will cause an 
exception/crash. It is a kind of Null/invalid ptr deref. 
The same kind as this is:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/434280

and not much different than this:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/461373

Nothing more. The main difference is that it was 
"implemented" by the vendor.

Thanks for your interest anyway.

Sincerelly,
Edi Strosar (Team Intell)

 Can  you,  please explain why is this security bug? DoS is not software
 crash,  DoS  is  Denial  of  Service.  It means, security impact of DoS
 vulnerability should be preventing (blocking) access of legitimate user
 to some data or service (via data corruption, service malfuction, etc).
