- Comments
- Northcutt> I think we can define appropriate, take a look at the nt security .pdf | and see if you can"t see a way to phrase specific keys in a way that | defines inappropriate. | Christey> Upon further reflection, this is too high-level for CVE. | Specific registry keys with bad permissions is roughly | equivalent to Unix configuration files that have bad | permissions; those permission problems can be created by | any vendor, not just a specific one. Therefore this | candidate should be RECAST into each separate registry | key that has this problem.
