And next time you want to complain about "vendor notification", go take a
look at the Cisco 675 vulnerability I sent you in JANUARY that you guys still
haven't fixed. Subject was 'Cisco 675 CISCO_WEB DoS Attack', sent to
security-alert () cisco com on January 10th, 2000.

I do not have anything to say in our defence. Guilty as charged. I just
checked my archive and that is true. You sent that mail and we failed.
For your information, one other customer reported the same thing latter
on and I picked up that case. I also went a bit further and looked into
the CBOS in more details and that took some time too.

For what is worth I do apologize for that. We are usually better
in response than that.

Cheers,

(humble) Gaus

There is no insolvable problems. Question remains: can you
accept the solution?
