What was your interpretation after you read the CVE's posted at
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21645500
and then looked up each individual CVE? Did you find any particular one
or more to be disturbing to you? Basically any one with access to a web
browser and google can look these up and now know what hacks are available
in to your system. Before you cry that no one should publish such
information know ye this; the hack was already known. This just
summarizes this and let's you know that it's fixed; IF you put on the
patch (aka ptf). Or you can stick your head in the sand and say "If it
ain't broke don't fix it", which is the attitude many people have when it
comes to PTF's and new releases.
That being said, I only put PTF's on once a quarter. It just so happens
that I last did this the weekend of 9/13.
Were you hoping that one of us would say something like "I looked up CVE
such and such and saw how it easy it was to hack my system and was able to
replicate the hack from my sisters web browser so I quickly upgraded my
IBM i and put on this group"?
