Is this not a HUGE security hole? If I understand it correctly it meansthat good oldHTML or XML can invoke a process using standard web traffic(port 80)?Is there any permission checking done? what things can beinvoked by RPCover HTTP? Jeeze, to me it looks like the barn door is nowwide open. AmI right, and if so, how can I detect RPCs in web traffic toblock thisjunk? Can ANY stateful packet filter see this stuff or isthe patterntoo broad in allowed RPCs? Again, I hope this is not a stupid question orinappropriate format forthis, as somebody else recently said, there is alreadyenough noise onthis list. I would hate to see this list degenerate, it hasbeen REALLYvaluable to me as a network engineer on occaison.
