If you really want to make sure that this issue gets resolved, and you
are not prohibited from reporting this vulnerability (via contract or
disclosure agreement) you can report it the the CERT coordination center:

Here's the form to report the vulnerability: http://w w w

and send it to cert_at_cert_dot_org

as well as information on what happens when you report a vulnerability:
