Apparently one of the new DHCP vulnerabilities stems
from the following code found in a header file.

#define vsnprintf(buf, size, fmt, list) vsprintf (buf,
fmt, list)

Why would any coder replace a more secure function
with a less secure function?  Personally I don't see
any reason except to backdoor the software.  If so,
then is this evidence that ISC has been hacked and
there backdoored?  Are they keeping the incident
quiet?

Yeah I'm paranoid, but someone has to be ^_*
