I, for one, am very happy that he announced it to the group rather
than attempting STO.  I was able fix the systems for which I have
responsibility immediately.  Thanks to Chris for getting the word out!

It will be interesting to see an announcement coming from CERT two or
three months from now about a "new" security bug.

Now the big question, except for the obvious, why was mount_union suid
in the first place?
