not as far as i know

yes

yes.

Mark Graff is the man you want to speak to - graff@eng.sun.com.  He's
in charge of sorting the patches out.  Mark's told us (8LGM) that Sun have
produced exploitation code for this, and are working on a fix.

I dont know the status of it, perhaps Mark will reply as I know he
watches this list.
