Why you consider it is a huge security hole? Just because of the OLE Packager bug?

COM/DCOM, where OLE rests, can be very secure if they are properly used.

By the way, OLE is used widely mainly in Microsoft products.

I read the post and I don't see any "bugs" pointed out per-se.

I'm asking about the security issues. Although they usually implies bugs the only one I mentioned is the OLE packager one that generated a big security problem.
