Yep, he contacted OSVDB about a few new issues. Some of them files were 
in a .tar format and once extracted appeared to contain no details. He 
has since fixed/verified they contain the data.

Unfortunately, one of his issues (mdaemon) is really vague. The session 
ID weakness isn't clear if it can ONLY be used to log out a user, or for 
additional attacks such as reading their mail. By itself, guessing a 7 
character alphanumeric string just to log someone out of the system is a 
nuisance at best.
