| 727937 | 2008-12-11 19:47:00 | Redmond has warned Windows users of a critical bug that it didn't get around to fixing in its huge batch of security patches that shipped earlier this week. In an advisory posted Tuesday, Microsoft said that "limited and targeted" attacks are in progress by hackers exploiting an unpatched vulnerability in the WordPad Text Converter, a tool included with all versions of Windows. The flawed converter handles Microsoft Word 97 files on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4), XP SP2, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2. Newer versions of Windows - XP SP3, Vista and Server 2008 - are not vulnerable to the bug, however. Isn't it good to know that everyone here got the SP3 update? Makes me feel good! :clap L-people are not included in my joy, however. |
