LeBlanc> This is not a vulnerability. It is essentially an advisory on best practices. Also, the description is extremely inaccurate. If I weren't intimately familiar with the issue, I would not be able to understand it from this. Syskey, when applied at lower levels, has well-documented limitations. Stracener> "..to recover" Frech> XF:win2k-syskey-default-configuration Change "tor ecover" to "to recover" |
