I had checked that site many days after and did not see it there.  Im glad
it was done, but that still doesnt make up for the fact that you guys
released the hole to an open list? (isnt it?)  Your workaround was wrong..

Im really let down by CERT.  From now on im posting straight to bugtraq.

To CERT: i told you about this hole.  Without me, you wouldnt have known,
and the least you could do is get me the credit i deserved.

The initial posting of these bulletins on July 15 did not include attribution
to Aaron.  When he drew our attention to the fact that we had not credited
him, updated bulletins were posted on July 17. These bulletins are available
from:

      ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_bulletins/VB-97.05.lynx
      ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_bulletins/VB-97.06.lynx

Note that Aaron's post to bugtraq is dated July 22.

Aaron: we apologize for not letting you know that these updates had been made
and made available on our FTP archive.

FYI: here are the current credits as they appear in the updated bulletins:

 VB-97.05.lynx
  The CERT Coordination Center staff thanks Aaron of Internet Maine for
  reporting the problem and thanks Jim Spath and his lynx-dev colleagues for
  their cooperation in developing this bulletin.

 VB-97.06.lynx
  The CERT Coordination Center staff thanks Aaron of Internet Maine for
  calling our attention to the problem and thanks Jim Spath and his lynx-dev
  colleagues for their cooperation in developing this bulletin.
