INTERIM DECISION: ACCEPT 47 various candidates (Final 8/27)

I have made an Interim Decision to ACCEPT the following 47 candidates.
They are universal vulnerabilities that are not affected by any
outstanding content decisions.  Almost all are validated either by the
affected vendor, a CERT advisory, or the equivalent.  All have at
least 3 non-MITRE votes for inclusion (e.g. ACCEPT or minor MODIFY).

The candidates come from the following clusters:

   8 CERT
  33 ONEREF
   1 VEN-AIX
   2 VEN-BSD
   1 VEN-SGI
   2 VEN-SUN

I will make a Final Decision on these candidates this Friday, 8/27.
Acceptance will increase the size of the "real" CVE to 140
vulnerabilities.

- Steve
