    The patch descriptions provided at sunsolve.sun.com only 
    describe the problem as "lbxproxy contains a buffer 
    overflow", and the dates do not appear to closely match the 
    discovery date quoted by eSecurityOnline. Is there any 
    stronger evidence that these patches fix this problem, and 
    not some unrelated issue with lbxproxy? Has anyone been 
    able to reproduce the original issue, as well as verifying 
    that the patch fixes it?
