Not sure if this is it, as the advisory was made public a week ago and fixed 
releases are all about 6 months old. Since the indication would be that 
providers are moving very quickly on short notice, there's something new 
afoot..

On a somewhat related note, that advisory referenced that 7.1 was available 
for the 5000 -- is this a misprint, or is it just available somewhere other 
than software center?
