http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/13/1519204&from=rss WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor? Posted by Zonk on Friday January 13, @12:36PM from the take-with-a-grain-of-salt dept. Windows Bug Programming An anonymous reader writes "Steve Gibson alleges that the WMF vulnerability in Windows was neither a bug, nor a feature designed without security in mind, but was actually an intentionally placed backdoor. In a more detailed explanation, Gibson explains that the way SetAbortProc works in metafiles does not bear even the slightest resemblance to the way it works when used by a program while printing. Based on the information presented, it really does look like an intentional backdoor." There's a transcript available of the 'Security Now!' podcast where Gibson discusses this. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
