See this place gets better all the time,
and Thank you for pointing out the vulnerability!

Pat,

Wasn't me. Ivan already knew. I posted it so the general SRP public could take interest and action if it affected anyone. Ivan gets all the credit on this one.

There's a simply testing tool out there for the public to use if they want to check whether their favorite website is vulnerable or has been fixed yet.

And then a thanks to Ivan as well.

It is becoming more and more important as commerce and the likes move this way.
I double checked our website at work and the corresponding company that handles our transactions.
We are a small enough company that many of us wear several hats.

Kind of sad but makes me proud that here is where I heard about it.

Thank you again gentlemen, all of you.

Well, I'd admit this is more of a side effect from my former uber-geekery when I was the sole admin managing the computer infrastructure for one of the largest departments. These days I only manage a couple of servers including the one for SRP, basically as a favor, so I still keep an eye on what's going on out there, but mostly just the very important stuff like this vulnerability. I'm definitely not on top of the latest issues with the linux-kernel and the stock binaries tend to be good enough for me

Amen, brother.

The K.I.S.S "The Keep It Simple Stupid" approach to many things in life is becoming more greatly appreciated as I get older.

And you called me a geek 'cause I can quote from Conan the Barbarian.

I did, didn't I. I can quote from knuth though

I thought this was going to be about a cut with a Hartsteel razor lol
