Follow-up on Lumigent Log Explorer 3.xx extended stored procedures buffer overflow

["Murray S. Mazer" <murray () lumigent com>]

Thanks to Martin for pointing this out. We did reply to him but apparently
not before his posting. This issue will be fixed in our next scheduled
maintenance release, available in two to three weeks.

In the meantime, we recommend that you grant execute permissions on
Lumigent's extended stored procedures to trusted logins only (a useful
policy in any case).
This prevents untrusted users from invoking stored procedures with
malicious intent.

Thanks,
--Murray
