    Indeed - which means they lied to CERT when they told CERT everyone
    affected had the patches or CERT screwed up in releasing the report.
    
    If CERT were working by their own (at times ridiculous) rules they would
    have informed XFree86 and sat on the announcement until they had patches.
    
    Maybe the CERT guys would like to tell bugtraq what happened ?
