Since the exploit is on the secunia website, how do you suggest that someone links to the advisory, without showing the how to use the exploit part?

Surely your 'beef' should be with secunia for posting the exploit on their website, not with other members here for letting you know that your servers may be at risk?

It's kind of a lose-lose situation, if the original poster just posted saying there was a security hole that allowed people to do "bad stuff" you'd moan at them and not believe them and ask for proof, so then they post a link to an advisory as proof, and then you'll have a go at them for posting that link because it shows how to use the exploit (as most security advisories do, which I personally think is a bit stupid since these websites are supposed to be helping us stay secure).
