Dell peers into critical security hole, shrugs shoulders

Feb 27, 2004 1:54AM PST

It'll be fixed ... sometime

A security hole in Dell OpenManage server could leave the product open to attack by an unauthorised user. The problem has been identified as high risk by security consultancy Secunia.

Perhaps even more alarmingly, the user who discovered the problem, wirepair, found that the Dell support desk seemed unable to comprehend the problem and an e-mail to the company produced an "out of office" message from, seemingly, the only guy available to deal with the issue.
