COMMAND
clipboard
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Win NT
PROBLEM
Jim Credland posted following. If you lock your workstation it's
still possible to paste the contents of the clipboard buffer into
the "User name" prompt. Not terribly clever for hiding what
you've been doing. According to Fiji, it is also possible to
paste passwd info on NT and Novell clients. There have been a few
occasions where users have typed in their passwd and before
hitting enter have decided to highlight and erase their passwd.
Someone can come along after these unscrupolous users and right
click then paste their passwd back again.
SOLUTION
Microsoft acknowledge the problem but made no promises about
fixing it. Obvious workaround - clear content of clipboard.
