Hello Simson,

Please issue a statement retracting your "security vulnerability"  
CV2-2007-2056.

Your alleged vulnerability in aimage is not a bug because the  
function getlock() is never called.

You are correct.  I sincerely appologize for not catching this.  This
function is not called in versions 2.2.0 or 2.2.8.  This correction has
been made on our website along with some others.  For more information,
see:

We are currently aware of no other exploitable flaws in AFFLIB.


thank you for validating our claims,
