RE: [Full-disclosure] Security Hole Found In Dave's Sock
Dear list, I know that this list is not meant for personal promotion but I think I would be remiss if I did not mention that my company has recently released an upgrade to our initial offering of Shoe 1.0. The upgrade to Shoe 2.0 includes a firewall/anti-virus product previously known as Sock 3.4563.v54. The upgrade cost is $19.99. There is also a required software assurance subscription of $325.79 monthly. If all goes well with the new product I suspect that we will be purchased by a major software vendor before year end thus making updates available on the first Tuesday of every month to protect against further holes. These updates will have vague names with no indication of what they actually fix which should relieve you of sparing any thought to what risks you may have been exposed to prior to the patch. Yes, we have in fact thought of everything so you don't have to.
