Oy...there goes the neighborhood.  NetView is clean, but a bunch of
devices in the average network are likely to be vulnerable:
        http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-03.html


I'm curious if anyone know how NetView got branded as not vulnerable
to trap format string attacks without the dependency on the security
e-Fix from 6.02 that came out in response to:
        http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-24.html

Perhaps because that vulnerability only existed if you launched
external scripts in event processing forked by ovactiond?
