The initial posting of these bulletins on July 15 did not include attribution
to Aaron. When he drew our attention to the fact that we had not credited
him, updated bulletins were posted on July 17. These bulletins are available
from:

ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_bulletins/VB-97.05.lynx
ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_bulletins/VB-97.06.lynx

Note that Aaron's post to bugtraq is dated July 22.

Aaron: we apologize for not letting you know that these updates had been made
and made available on our FTP archive.

FYI: here are the current credits as they appear in the updated bulletins:

VB-97.05.lynx
The CERT Coordination Center staff thanks Aaron of Internet Maine for
reporting the problem and thanks Jim Spath and his lynx-dev colleagues for
their cooperation in developing this bulletin.

VB-97.06.lynx
The CERT Coordination Center staff thanks Aaron of Internet Maine for
calling our attention to the problem and thanks Jim Spath and his lynx-dev
colleagues for their cooperation in developing this bulletin.
