Additional Information
----------------------
The Axis StorPoint CD and StorPoint CD/T with Software Version 4.13 are old
products with old software (from 1997). As Axis says:
"Note that the development for StorPoint CD and CD/T has been discontinued from
November 1999, only minor service releases will be available."
Axis has tested their new products, Axis StorPoint CD E100 and StorPoint NAS
100, and this vulnerability was not been found.

Infosec would like to thank Peter Berggren and Johan Diedrichs at Axis for their
involvement with testing and supplying patch information.
