of course, by posting to this list, you have just made any would-be trawler
who happens across this information aware that the bank you work for is 
running a deprecated and insecure web server on a production machine (that 
appears to have some sort of e-banking interface?) and have no intention to
fix it. even if your server is changerooted i'd imagine you'd still need to
access things like database auth credentials and ssl private keys. can you
really afford the man-hours of labour that would be generated if those 
were compromised?

quite possibly. you could always go through three and a half years of 
changelogs to see if that particular bug was fixed.
