At http://www.cybermedia.co.in/NT_Security/CS_vulnerability.htm
is a description of a vulnerability in WinNT.  

Here is a brief description of the problem:

Description: 
 Using the permissions on the "\??" object directory and by exploiting the 
 case sensitivity of object manager it is possible to trojan any system 
 executables.
