Mark Russinovich demystifies Steve Gibson's claims of an intentional WMF backdoor.

Good afternoon Everyone.  I have been receiving a lot of email's on this one.  While I was looking at some great utilities at www.sysinternals.com, I discovered that Mark Russinovich commented in fantastic technical detail of the recent WMF vulnerability. 

The bottom line of Mark Russinovich’s entry is that the behavior of the WMF, while intentional, IS NOT A SECRET BACKDOOR .
