Windows CE 2.1
PROBLEM
Bart Van den Bossche found following problem in Windows CE 2.1 for
a Palm PC (Cassiopeia E-11). When you type text on the emulated
keyboard, WinCE tries to guess the word you're typing. When you
enter a password (eg. for a dialup) WinCE will consequently show
the words which first characters match your password's first
characters. The impact is quite obvious. When people can see your
screen, they can see a part of your password.
SOLUTION
It's less possible for this to be exploitable in everydays's life,
but possibility stands.
