Thank you for the information. It was very helpfull. After thinking it a lot, 
I decided to first disclose it in the form of a paper which should further 
alert vendors and security organizations (I'll contact them when it is ready) 
but it won't be used by script-kiddies reading the bugtraq. I believe that 
this is the best approach (tm) right now and that it won't do any harm.
