It is generally better not to repost these kinds of warnings to
miscellaneous irrelevant news groups. Very often what you get is
neophytes passing on junk warnings that have been wandering around
the net for ages.
Serious warnings are posted in standard security areas that are
known to those who need to be concerned with such matters. If you
DO need to be concerned, and do NOT know how to find out about
these kind of security problems, then you can't in any case rely
on such posts as a reliable protection mechanism, most especially
because when you see such a repost, you have no way to know if it
is real or not.
