Sir, Although the exploitation technique was already known I am sure that others are happy to know about the vulnerability. And I assure you that I did not waste my time. Apparently you have strong feelings about my post. I apologize if I have offended you in some way. This will be my last reply. Best regards and happy holidays.

Hi Reed, I'm unable to verify that. I'm sure someone else will. Regardless, as indicated by the previous Full-Disclosure posting by Pretty Vacant, the behavior you're speaking about has been known for years. Sorry you wasted your time. It's clear you were unaware of the previous research. You must have thought it was pretty important, considering how many lists you cross posted to. Thanks for your efforts.

However, with Microsoft operating systems newer than Windows 2000 administrative privileges are necessary. Thank you for your comment.
