Hey don't shoot the messenger, people were interested in what was in
the presentation, I just relayed that information WITH THE CAVEAT THAT
I DIDN'T TEST IT. They had screenshots of the flaw and source code for
an exploit, based on that I assumed it's genuine even if we haven't
been able to reproduce it.

I'm not trying to scaremonger or stir up shit, in fact I stated in my
original post that neither of these exploits seemed particularly earth
shattering.
