'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?

    You're still not paying attention.

    Judaism had a direct relationship with a God who was loving and abusive in turns.

    Christianity had a direct relationship with the Son of God, who was loving and forgiving of sins.

    Islam was founded by a murderous individual who usurped both of the earlier religions, and appropriated God to justify his violence. Unlike the other two religions, he commanded his followers to kill off the infidels, or to enslave them.

    Have you ever read the Quran, or read a biography of Mohammed? If you have, you apparently learned little from it.
