WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor?

Blogged under Virus Alert by Dr. Byte on Friday 13 January 2006 at 7:11 pm

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.
