I had that thought, but I also had another thought:
The product may perform a version comparison using something like this
(bash syntax):
if [[ "$version" > 8 ]]; then ...
Hilarity ensures. (This syntax does a string comparison, not an integer
comparison, so "10" is less than "8".)
Even if this particular product doesn't have this bug, I bet something
out there will. Similar bugs are easily achieved in most weakly-typed
scripting languages (awk, Tcl, perl, ...). They show up all the time.
I've done it myself.
