> 
> 
> Hello everybody,
> 
> We have constructed a logical model of Windows XP access 
> control, in a declarative but executable (Datalog) format.  
> We have built a scanner that reads access-control 
> configuration information from the Windows registry, file 
> system, and service control manager database, and feeds raw 
> configuration data to the model.  Therefore we can reason 
> about such things as the existence of privilege-escalation 
> attacks, and indeed we have found several 
> user-to-administrator  vulnerabilities caused by 
> misconfigurations of the access-control lists of commercial 
> software from several major vendors.  We propose tools such 
> as  ours as a vehicle for software developers and system 
> administrators to model and debug the complex interactions of 
> access control on  installations under Windows.

> All the vendors and CERT are aware of this paper. The bugs are *not*
