This is a good reminder that it's always a good idea to go through the relevant 
security advisories of the relevant vendors, ensuring that any vendor-supplied 
fixes have been applied, before reporting a possible vulnerability - especially 
in a public forum.

The assumption is generally that OPs have taken the opportunity to do so prior 
to posting; it's also a good reminder that this isn't necessarily the case, and 
that due diligence is something to which everyone can contribute.
