This is NOT proper disclosure, Dave.  You must contact the vendor
first.  My cousins, uncles, nephews sister works for Fruit of the
Loom; I will attempt to locate a security contact there.

I just spoke with my girlfriend, and she has also confirmed that she
has holes -- although there is only one way that I am aware of to fill
her holes.

Until the hole is patched, do not put your sock on your cock.  This
could result in a buffer overflow.
