'Specially crafted username' opens the keys to the kingdom of FAIL:

Designated CVE-2015-8024, the bug covers "McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), Enterprise Security Manager/Log Manager (ESMLM), and Enterprise Security Manager/Receiver (ESMREC) 9.3.x before 9.3.2MR19, 9.4.x before 9.4.2MR9, and 9.5.x before 9.5.0MR8, when configured to use Active Directory or LDAP authentication sources, allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by logging in with the username 'NGCP|NGCP|NGCP;' and any password", the advisory states.

So, you install a security product and that provides an open backdoor into your systems?

    With Runaway, I usually just check the phase of the moon. Rather reliable indicator. Not claiming causation, but correlation is good enough for prediction. And who would mod down this inquiry into the health of one of our fellow Soylentils! If we don't check up on each other, only the NSA will!
