Therefore, I am posting them here. After several days of testing, I can say that the unmodified FWTK 2.1 smap process is *NOT* vulnerable to the same overflow as Gauntlet. I will be testing 2.1 smap+Joe Yao's patch next. Also, for those of you who asked me, the NAI notice is correct; Gauntlet 4.2 does not seem to be vulnerable to the buffer overflow. -- --Keith Young -kyoung@v-one.com
