I have implemented it. If there are security advisories from Cobalt or other
relayable guys, I implement fixes as soon as possible.

That puts you way ahead of the crowd. My guess is that most people are thinking that this exploit could NEVER happen to them <wry grin>.

But just think how many years this problem existed (at least four or five, I'd guess) before someone noticed it. And think how many similar problems there are probably still out there lurking in unix code.
