I don't think I missed that point Syd, this is a quote from my first post on
this subject;

"The problem with this 'vulnerability' is that you need to actually be on
the machine to use it, although it's not quite the chicken & egg situation
that it first sounds like - it can help once you're on the system by making
life easier to determine which user profile(s) you *should* hijack to give
you more access rights."
