[Full-disclosure] MSN (or should that be "msn") goofs again

[Nick FitzGerald <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Read this from the Kaspersky Analysts' Diary:

Weep, laugh, /., etc as is your wont...

Given the "obvious fix" to folk capable of making such a mistake in the 
first place, one might almost expect that, once it's fixed, "pIF" or 
"Pif" or "PiF" or "pIf", etc would still work.

It's a good thing that Michael Howard and the boys have been wrastling 
security and code-quality concepts into the softies for most of this 
century -- imagine how bad things might be if they hadn't a been...


Regards,

Nick FitzGerald
