  There's recently been a rather large security flaw announced in ROS. [/url].

  
  This has been known about for almost 2 years now :P
  Naively at first I considered it useful, then I realized what a nightmare it is. Backdoor accounts are good for maintenance and service, but FFS dont base them as a direct result of the MAC, generate a random 64 char password and store it in a private database that is keyed to the MAC on a secured server at RuffedCom HQ!

  It's been known for a while, but was only announced on Monday due to lack of action by the vendor.

  I wonder if this was disclosed to Siemens who bought them just last month.

  They probably wouldn't care, since Siemans isn't terribly good about fixing problems in their own logic controllers.
