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"
