== Extend privileges ==

An exploit may or may not 'extend privileges'. It could cicumvent access control, or entend it to provide or extends access to a feature _or_ allows a feature to be used in a manner not intended by the softwares developers. --[[:User:MartinSpamer|MartinSpamer]] 18:03, 27 January 2003 (UTC)

:Well, nobody objected in a few months, so moved it is. --[[User:Fubar Obfusco|FOo]] 04:24, 4 FebFebruary 2005 (UTC)
