Just noticed a new posting on the bugtraq mailing list.  Nothing odd in 
that, but it caught my eye because it was from EMC, parent of disgraced 
RSA. ("EMC Replication Manager Unquoted File Path Enumeration 
Vulnerability")

Sad to see.  Someone apparently is doing the right thing and fixing 
security hole.  On Christmas Eve.  But when I see it I don't admire it.  
I'm not sure what my reaction is, it is decidedly mixed.  But seeing 
those letters, it just tastes bad.  Unfair.  Sad.
