[Full-disclosure] Question about ethics when discovering a security faul

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Question about ethics when discovering a security fault in system
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 20:28:36 +0200
Hi

I stumbled upon a security fault (discovered it by mistake) this Sunday in a perimeter security device.
The day after I contacted the manufacturer and informed them about it and later that evening the acknowledged the problem and they where able to reproduce it.


My question is what is good ethics for me to continue with this? Sense I discovered it by mistake, and everyone can do the same thing and everyone can reproduce it. And it is a perimeter security device providing remote access from a large manufacturer. And might be a known problem by others than the manufacturer, how ever the product has only bean on the market for about 2 months.

What I want a resolution so the device we bought to provide us with remote access and security shall work securely and that the company shall inform other owner of there products about the problem so they wont have the same security breach.
