This vulnerability seems to be in win32k.sys. The UI side of NT is something I know less about than other pieces, however, my understanding is that a lot of user32.dll in an NT-based system is simply trapping into win32k.sys. Similar to the fact that most stuff in ntdll is just a syscall stub.

I respect the NT kernel but it has visible warts. I will give you that they are not always the same warts as what people complain about on HN.

Personal attacks are not allowed on Hacker News, regardless of whether someone else is wrong.

Ever try showing some respect to your fellow HN users?

Anyone else noticed the rise of offensiveness here?

Goes with the territory; the front door stays open here. But yeah, I've noticed. It ebbs and flows.
