Dear 3APA3A,

I didn't mentioned any DoS in my advisory. I clearly 
stated that it is a "bug" that will cause an 
exception/crash. It is a kind of Null/invalid ptr deref. 
The same kind as this is:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/434280

and not much different than this:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/461373

Nothing more. The main difference is that it was 
"implemented" by the vendor.

Thanks for your interest anyway.

Sincerelly,
Edi Strosar (Team Intell)
