Almost all "bugs" have been Buffer Overflows that allow remote code
execution, too. Interesting coincidence? See

http://www.angelfire.com/space/netcensus/overflow.html

"Buffer overflow vulnerabilities, often reported by Microsoft
Corporation as Windows software bugs, may be intended, built-in
backdoors. A bug is a fault in software code which software makers
desire to fix. A backdoor is software code that allows others access
to a computer over a network connection.

Evidence strongly suggests that buffer overflow bug reports arise
mainly, if not entirely, when backdoor code is discovered by
outsiders. Then the outsider may be blamed or vilified as a hacker,
cracker or attacker as part of a possible coverup of the existence of
built-in backdoor facilities in Microsoft Windows. "
