      A few of my favorites: HijackClick by Liu Die Yu https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/413886/  Clicking in a page in IE triggers a drag-and-drop event to place malware on a Windows system. Windows ANI buffer overflow https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/191609/  Viewing a web page or receiving an email -> kernel code exec

      Windows WMF SetAbortProc bug https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/181038/  Steve Gibson asserted that this was an intentional backdoor. https://www.grc.com/sn/SN-022.htm  Windows automatically executes code pointed to by LNK file https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/940193/  This allowed for Stuxnet to exist.

      SetAbortProc was a good one. The root shell on the G1 launch was a particularly memorable blunder 😂 Reading Derek Soeders eEye advisories got me interested in NT internals, e.g. https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2004/Oct/404 …

      Thanks, I am proud of that one! It was used by the getsystem command in Metasploit for years, so probably also one of the most widely used Windows privescs!

          i dig 2010-0232 because a) some guy named Tavis (pre-Google) and b) some local overflow (who cares!), yet was a foundation in many ways. for fun, 2006-03-23 CVE-2006-3459 for LibTIFF is the first I see for you...
