Isn't this kind of pointless? Aren't you unable to run progs/apps when they are disabled, therefore making this useless? Luby 13:26, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

Well, sure, if all apps and programs are disabled, then (in theory, at least) the user can't run arbitrary assembly code, but... (a) That's not the only possible situation -- you might have only a subset disabled. (b) Push-to-test doesn't delete or disable scripts (at least on 2.41) -- I don't know about Testguard, but there are probably bugs there as well that could be exploited. (c) If you wanted to -- I probably would if I had an 84+ and wanted to use 2.4x -- you could modify the OS to add a backdoor. And even if this entry point were "useless", would it not still be worth documenting? FloppusMaximus 13:15, 8 May 2008 (PDT)
