[Plugins-writers] LDAP plugin 10723 and confusing text

Hello All,

For plugin 10723, could the following text be struck out or moved
to a different plugin?  It has nothing to do w/ the general null
binding for LDAP.

<text>
In addition, the LDAP bind function in Exchange 5.5 has a buffer
overflow
that allows a user to conduct a denial of service or execute
commands in all
versions prior to Exchange server SP2. Coupled with a NULL BIND, an
anonymous user can mount a remote attack against your server.

Note: no test was done to see what version of Exchange server is
running,
nor attempt to verify the service pack.

Solution: see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-009.mspx
Risk factor: Medium

</text>

Thanks,

Jon
