WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor?
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.

on the grounds that they touted the security of their product,
while deliberately including non-security?
It's come to this has it, authoritative analysis provided by walrus face himself.

>>>"other" intentional back doors
Yep, I've been saying this for years. Microsoft intentionally creates back doors and when users find them they claim it's a bug and close it. DHS, CIA, FBI and NSA have a list of "unknowns" that they use for their handy work. Use GNU/Linux.
The government which is strong enough to protect you from everything is strong enough to take everything from you.
the subject says it all.
