Where are the actual CVE entries for these? http://cve.mitre.org doesn't 
seem to know much about either of them...

So if only trusted zeo clients can connect to the storage server (which 
is the only sane thing to do anyway, given that zeo is an unencrypted 
protocol) then neither of these is a problem?

cheers,

Chris
