Are you kidding? You think a firewall being hacked with a buffer overflow is an anoyance rather then a security compromise? Please explain what a security compromise is then. I agree that a firewall should not be your only line of defense but at the same time, a company should be able to expect a certain level of security from the firewall. Many companies don't have the money to bring in full time security staff and they are left to trust the vendors who install the security devices. So a company that gets hacked due to this hole is at fault since they didnt have ACL's on the router? Ok, while we are at it, lets blame the company for also not hacking the kernel to have MAC.
Come on now, sure there is more to security then just a firewall but an exploit with this kind of power -IS- a security compromise.
