Recent podcast from GRC's Steve Gibson. If this is correct (And I'm not saying that it is - just thinking that is too scary), then it means that the WMF exploit was actually a deliberatly coded backdoor in the windows operating system.

The facts are correct, the interpretation is not. This was a deliberately coded feature, but it wasn't intented to be a remote code execution backdoor. Its code from back in they 80s when people had single user pcs and this kind of issue wasn't really well understood.
