Hi David,

Okay - how do I as a customer determine if I'm running an "impacted software package"? 

I asked earlier today in the Universe specific forum if Universe was affected.   My post was promptly responded to, telling me that Universe isn't affected, but that an official statement would be forthcoming.

If your statement is "the official statement" from Rocket - it's unfortunately lacking the detail I need to respond to my management with.

Thanks in advance for any further clarification you can provide.
