Journal rm007's Journal: First Security Problem from Windows Leak 2
This story will probably be showing on the /. front page before too long (I submitted it, but some one may well do a better job - I confess, my blurbs are not all that interesting - or have beaten me to it)
I.T. Vibe has a story about the first security problem related to the leak of Windows code on the web last week. They report: The reported vulnerability affects only Internet Explorer version 5, and causes an integer overflow which can result in arbitrary code being executed on the affected machine. A modified bitmap file is all that is needed to be loaded in order to execute the exploit. Needless to say, there is no word on when a patch will become available. We will probably be seeing more stories like this.
