7 ‘critical’ MS security flaws
p2pnet.net News:- Seven of nine of the latest Microsoft security problems are "critical," the other two being rated "important," says Computerworld, going on:
"The most dangerous of the vulnerabilities in this month’s batch is a flaw in Microsoft’s Workstation Service memory, according to security vendor Symantec Corp. "The flaw is remotely executable and allows attackers to potentially take complete control of compromised systems to create new user accounts, install programs and view, modify or delete data."
Successful exploitation of the flaw could result in a complete system compromise, the story has Symantec saying.
"This issue can be exploited by remote anonymous attackers on Windows 2000, Windows XP and possibly Windows Server 2003 systems."
