It could be bigger if he lets an exploit out of the bag and the
not-so-freindly people that might monitor the lists starts using it against
us.
They will find out anyway... you can not stop that, this is a problem that pertains to security, tell us... do I need to say more? 



Personally I am glad he isnt saying anything yet. Sun appears to be fixing
it, so I dont see a reason to give details until after the hole has been
fixed (and the early adopters have had a chance to patch our boxes).


Early adoption of SUN patches for the colbat's ALLWAYS end up in problems.
