Hi Chris,

first of all: Thanks for the good work!

Yes, I agree.

I would like to know:
- local or remote exploitable
- if a DoS: hang, only service failure, major slowdown 
- privilege escalation possiible and how far (valid user, root, kernel-level)
- required privileges (root or user)

That would help risk management a lot :-)

If you have a lot of time: Affected software components, but these can
be taken from the patches/commit info or CVE.

Thanks & Regards
