The WMF Backdoor Debate

I don't believe the general press has grabbed on to this yet but there is a nice little debate happening right now on the security list. Was the WMF bug a deliberately designed backdoor into Windows?

Steve Gibson of GRC believes it might be and attempts to produce evidence on this Security Now Website.

I will let the reader decide on their own...but not everyone in the world agrees with Steve Gibson. I personally believe he may need to shave some off the top a bit. However we may never know the truth about why and how the WMF vuln was allowed to exist for so long.

Right now there is a great debate happening on Full-Disclosure and FunSec. Newer post are on the bottom.

Perhaps we can chalk it up to the today being Friday the 13th and a Full Moon.
