> - Tavis Ormandy discovers a root kit disguised as DRM
From what I have read, the plugin's function was to launch games from a web site. I don't think it was really DRM-related, or a root kit (since the plugin didn't really try to hide, it was just a security bug)

A little surprised that LWN parroted the root-kit thing. It was a buggy plug-in fixed quite quickly by the vendor.

It's not a feature, it's a bug.
What's the difference anyway ?
