Or at least make it clear on page one that it isn't outstanding.

Page one at Secunia says the following:

avast! Home/Professional "aswMon" Privilege Escalation
Secunia Advisory:    SA36442

Release Date:    2009-08-25
Last Update:    2009-08-27
Popularity:    429 views

Critical: Less critical
Impact: Privilege escalation
DoS
Where:    Local system

Solution Status:    Vendor Patch

I think this is clear enough.

...But only after our friends at Secunia updated it (after our kind notification). Before that, it read "unpatched"

Yes, and I was the first to report about 'unpatched' status by Secunia in reply #7 in this thread.
