I did promise no more violations of short monosylables...). The release was not a day early, the release was on the date that ISS and ISC agreed on. Actually, I'll take that back... The FreeBSD security officer was "Notified this morning by CERT. The notification indicated that ISS would go public tomorrow (not today)...". So it's unclear as to who was suffering from optical rectitus, the FreeBSD dude or CERT. If he received the notification in the morning, was it sent the prior evening and he didn't get the time jump across midnight, or did CERT suffer from a similar brain fart (opppsss... Is that a banned word?). IAC... The advisory was negotiated and agreed upon between ISS and ISC (who was notified by ISS on Oct 25). It went out as agreed upon and as scheduled and as CERT was notified of.
