Not really a hole, it's an o-config problem w/ dial-up . Excerpt:
"The configuration problem only affects dial-up users: some dialling software mistakes the entire Internet as part of a local network, and if the user clicks the option to allow connections from within the local (subnet) network, the firewall will allow connections from any IP address out on the Web to shared resources on the machine."
