Maybe this example was not the best as it is only in Windows for 10 years, NFS however as a component exists since at least NT 4. Even if this exploit only touches completely new code, my point still stands that windows has multiple layers of archeology which were designed when security was an afterthought. Some of these are preinstalled with Windows, use networking and run as SYSTEM (WMI, spool) others are used by enough components in windows they will never be removed yet it doesn’t seem they are undergoing any development (COM/OLE)
