Subject: Secuirty Hole Found In Dave's Sock

Date:		9/8/2005

Vulnerability Found:   	Hole In Dave's Socket

Affected System:		Dave's Right Sock

Severity:			Rating: Moderately Critical
				Impact: System access
				Where:  Foot

Description of Vulnerability:  This morning while putting my socks
on I found a small (1/4 inch) hole by my big toe. This could be
exploited by a virus through the bottom of the foot or under the
toe nail. This could be used to compromise Dave's entire system.

Solution: No permanent solution is currently available. A work
around is to wear the sock on the other foot to have the hole
above the small toe where it will not be furthur enlarged, it
will proboably fold over and partially cover the vulnerability.
Permanent solution coming in either a sock darning or upgrading
the unit to a new sock.

Time Table:		Found at 7:48am on Sept 8th, 1005
			Work around figured out at 7:49am on Sept 8th,
2005
			Permanent Solution Pending

Credits:		Found by Dave

References:		No references available.
