Back to the original subject:
[Full-disclosure] Steve Gibson smokes crack?

Does anyone know if Steve Gibson does indeed smoke crack?  If Marion
Barry does, why can't he?  These questions need answers!  Or not,
happy friday, drink up.

I've heard that WINE suffers from the same exploit.  How could
it be a microsoft "conspiracy" if WINE (implemented from API docs)
does the same thing?

Randal,

Thanks.  That's is precisely the point I have been trying to make,
however, the question is I gather flowing from the Gibson commentary,
how or what exactly causes WINE to execute the code pointed at by the
SetAbortProc record?  Is it the "incorrect record length" is it some
other munged input, is it "by design" which has also been alluded to,
and seems to be your reference here.

IOW, does any know the circumstances, in all cases, where the bug is
triggered or is there only speculation based upon exploit code
"working" against a given vulnerable implementation of the API?

I know I am speculating, but is there or has there been a canonical
analysis done by anyone?
