Ah, yes - "if you run it hosted under Windows and host is compromised,
it's very insecure" and it goes downwards from there.

Right there with "suppose attacker got enough priveleges to run arbitrary
code in kernel mode.  You know, the system can be fscked real hard
after that! We couldn't figure out how to achieve <trivial modification
of kernel behaviour>, but here's how to <several equally trivial ones>"
(two articles in the same issue).

Overall: "Looking for real vulnerabilities is tough - let's go shopping!"
Piss-poor...
