That is today's security environment

"Essentially, Dell's driver accepts system calls from any user or program on a machine; there are no security checks nor an access control list to see if the caller is sufficiently authorized or privileged "

No security checks, no ACL.

You tell me that there isn't a single rogue engineer that thought that wasn't a good idea.
