RE: [Full-Disclosure] Unsecure file permission of ZoneAlarm pro.

yet, if I read this properly it wasnpt simply and open e-mail attachment
issue was it, it was open attachment then make suggested changes to the

requres more then a simple luser, it requires the most stupid of lusers
for it to take. and in that case, we're perhaps better off with them
DOS'ed? <smile>

thanks,
