hey guest,
this isn't a virus, this is a 'local root exploit' for windows. There are many situations where multiple users all need to use the same computer. Those users can use this exploit to 'root' the machine and gain elevated privaliges, perhaps setting up new admin accounts or eraseing records or punching other holes in security. also, i believe you may also be able to use this exploit over windows virtual terminal server, where you log into a remote machine and it's desktop is in a window on your current desktop. XP pro comes with virtual terminal server enabled by default (called 'desktop sharing' or something). so, there are many times and places where you have to have untrusted users physically log into a machine, and those users will be able to use this exploit to 'root' you.
