[Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk

[Daniel Kulesz]

I was really shocked to see that it took more than one day between the
Issue becoming apparent and the warning being placed on the website.
This is a very serious issue and can cause severe damage on really
expensive hardware (i.e. most recent Lenovo Thinkpads like the X200,
X301, T400, T500 and so on).

Also, please be also aware, that some testers might simply change their
old download URL from a download manager and increment from 5 to 6 -
therefore I really suggest to at least move the images away to some
different place and replace the ISO files with textfiles containing the
same warning together with the real download location.

Is there any way to issue a warning to all the testers who are already
using or began downloading the ISO? Does the installer query some URL
through which the warning could be injected?
