It was found that there is a security vulnerability in version 4.0X and 5.0x of the AnswerWorks™ runtime.  A malicious piece of code could use an unchecked buffer to execute arbitrary code on a user’s machine. 

There have been no known exploits or reports of this issue to Vantage, OEM customers, or end users.  This patch is proactive to any efforts to exploit.

Description of fix:
==================
Versions 4.0.102 and 5.0.8 eliminate this vulnerability.  The kill bit is also set in the computer’s registry to prevent the old code from ever running again.  This has the effect that if the new build is uninstalled and an older version of AnswerWorks™ is reinstalled on the machine, the older version of AnswerWorks™ will not function but it will also prevent any security vulnerability.
