Does it have the security flaw described?

We're on 5.0.r8 (or something like that - not logged into the fw right
now)

Never mind - I got up too early and just saw NetScreen and thought you
were replying to my post.

I guess this is more of a forum for software pirates than people
interested in security.

Before you jump down the guys' throat, you can't buy support for a 5XP as
far as I'm aware, you're just out of luck.

So, he may not have any other option.

Which might hint that the box is obsolete, no longer fit for purpose.

However, if the vendor is no longer willing to sell support, presumably
they do not expect the product to generate further revenue and have
ceased developing firmware updates - so why not make the last version
freely available?

Indeed. Should using software you can no longer obtain a license for be
considered piracy?
