TWO MS Classics

`` The attack code takes advantage of a flawed Windows routing and remote access component for which Microsoft released a patch two weeks ago, the company said in its advisory published late Friday. The company is not aware of any actual cyberattacks that use the exploit code, it said.''

MS Classics #1: MS issued a "patch" to correct a vulnerability and it created, another and bigger one;


"An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system," Microsoft said. ''

MS Classics #2: the entire machine can be completely taken over by the attacker. Not just a DoS or crashing of user code or even vandalizing the space of the said user.

MS effectiveness: The entire machine is taken over, or nothing

Can pls the members of the "Special Club" come out and try to Bozzo themselves into explaining how good and solid everything MS is and thatn Vista can correct this, that and the other .... ;-)
