[VIM] Blackboard Academic Suite Vulnerabilities. (fwd)

Source emails edited.  I think I want to do this as a policy, since VIM
will eventually be more widely accessible and picked up by spammers.

Note the vendor's claimed lack of responsiveness by dr_insane.

Steve,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding this vulnerability report.  The
report is not entirely accurate. This vulnerability only affects
customers who are running our software using particular LDAP servers
using specific settings.  We have issued patches related to this
vulernability for all versions 6 and 7 of our product. There is also a
knowledge base article number 181-2690.  We have also notified our
customers via email and on-line forums.  We have also asked the
maintainer of the ipomonis site to update his information.  Thus far he
has been non-responsive.

Thanks,

John Fontaine
Director, Engineering Services.
