Isn't it curious that two unrelated issues have been reported to CheckPoint at the same day and the patches came out on the same day ? Am I too paranoid, or it seems that CheckPoint had previous knowledge of the bugs and they agreed with ISS which date would be stated as notification to CP to make it appears that a quick response (two days) has been achieved on those issues ?
Uh... yeah, that's how these things are _supposed_ to work. Did you read the ISS advisory? Checkpoint has released an update to address this issue.
