That's _exactly_ what I am saying!!!

When VMS has the same number of people probing it daily that Linux
does then you can do that comparison. Until then, the comparison
means absolutely nothing.

BTW, I hope the summary pages for the other CVEs are more accurate
than the one for my CVE is. :-)

Just for the record, the most glaring oversight is in the "Integrity
Impact" section. With my exploit, you can modify whatever you want
and you have _full_ control over what is modified without any limits.
