Given the number of cases we see of somebody posting an actual PoC for a vulnerability that *doesn't* *work* on some machines, I'd really hate to bet my security on "Oh, the exploit we tried didn't work, we must be safe". Remember - if the exploit works, you have a problem. Failure of the exploit to work does NOT mean you don't have a problem - somebody with a different version that has a critical offset set to 4 more or less may make swiss cheese of your network.
