Security Now 22: The WMF Backdoor

Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson Flash: Steve Gibson has been working with the WMF vulnerability and is now convinced that this is an intentional backdoor into Windows added by Microsoft. Main feed - courtesy AOL Radio Microsoft has patched the WMF vulnerability in Windows 2000 and XP, but in his research for a fix for Windows 95/98/Me Steve has come up with a blockbuster. It is his considered opinion that the WMF vulnerability could not have been a mistake. It was an intentional backdoor inserted into Windows by Microsoft for reasons unknown. Listen for details. Steve also hosts transcripts, show notes, and a 16kbps version of the show for the bandwidth impaired at grc.com. <!--break-->
