It's insecure-by-design, but it's working exactly as written. It's been in there for _15_ years, and ported to every version of Windows. Windows 3.0 supports it. :-/ bkfsec: >The way I read what he's saying there, he's saying that you enter >malformed input and that malformed input pushes the executable code into >position to be executed...
