This could be exploited by a virus through the bottom of the foot or under the toe nail. This could be used to compromise Dave's entire system. Solution: No permanent solution is currently available. A work around is to wear the sock on the other foot to have the hole above the small toe where it will not be furthur enlarged, it will proboably fold over and partially cover the vulnerability. Permanent solution coming in either a sock darning or upgrading the unit to a new sock. Time Table: Found at 7:48am on Sept 8th, 1005 Work around figured out at 7:49am on Sept 8th, 2005 Permanent Solution Pending Credits: Found by Dave References: No references available. *************************************************************** Dave D.
