Hello.
I understand the concept of Funn-Disclosure, but did you conact all
the affected vendors and wait at least one week for initial response?

a0o>  Description:
a0o>  ------------
a0o>  A remote shoe vulnerability exists that could allow for remote tripping 
and
a0o>  possible exposure of sensitive data to the pavement.

a0o>  Scope:

a0o>  Severity:
a0o>  ---------
a0o>  Hyper-Critical. This needs no explanation.

a0o>  Vulnerability:
a0o>  --------------
a0o>  Failure to properly tie your shoe could result in tripping and a possible
a0o>  broken face upon sudden deceleration when hitting the pavement.

a0o>  Vulnerable Sizes: 
a0o>  -----------------
a0o>  6 through 13. Other sizes may be vulnerable, but were unavailable for 
testing.

a0o>  Exploitation:
a0o>  -------------
a0o>  You have a 100% secure walking system - you do not fall down, or trip over
a0o>  your own laces.  A remote attacker could determine your shoe size by 
reading
a0o>  your livejournal FROM THE NETWORK and could MAIL YOU a shoe with extra 
long
a0o>  laces.  You put the shoe on without tying it properly and suddenly are 
exposed
a0o>  to a REMOTE shoe vulnerability!

a0o>  Fix:
a0o>  ----
a0o>  Do not wear untrusted shoes sent to you. Other possible workarounds 
include
a0o>  sandals (aka. flip-flops). These are a good work-around and are widely
a0o>  available for those concerned about their security. 

a0o>  Vendor Notification:
a0o>  --------------------
a0o>  Vendors were not notified at the time of this writing.  We have choosen 
not to
a0o>  give advance notice because the fault is not always with the vendor of the
a0o>  shoe as a REMOTE PERSON could SNAIL MAIL a LOCAL USER a  vulnerable shoe.

a0o>  We at 0x90.org believe that the users should be happy they were notified 
about
a0o>  this.  Imagine the mass destruction and chaos that would ensue if we 
unleashed
a0o>  a REMOTE SHOE VULNERABILITY WORM into the wild.  At this time we have 
choosen
a0o>  not to do that, mostly because we can not afford all the stamps to mail
a0o>  vulnerable shoes to the public.
