Hi Paul, are we gona hear an upgrate from ML now?

I heard this . .. is this a realy big problem? or is it much to
do about nothing?
i.e. Is my stuff on the networks secure?

Armed with knowledge
of how to exploit this
flaw, anyone on a
Windows NT client on
an NT network can gain
the power to switch
other users' passwords,
add new addresses,
change access rights to confidential network areas,
and generally run the network in the same
manner as an administrator, according to Mark
Edwards, a private security consultant and
principal behind the NT Security and NT Shop
Web pages.

"It's a pretty big problem," he said. "Even though
it's a local attack, it's probably one of the top five
or six bugs [for Windows NT]."
