The server software with the vulnerability could be the DECnet stack
running on that server.

BTW, has anyone been able to do a $ show proc/priv against the EVL listener

I notice that no-one, including Mark yet, has posted this, so I wonder
just how many of you are actually running the DECnet Phase IV stack on
your machines.
