I do hope MS releases a patch soon, and make it available to everyone running a valid copy of XP or not, to prevent those bloody Windows machines spewing out more spam. The discoverers of the vulnerability seem to have a patch though. The announcement is here (news.com.com). The technical description of the vulnerability is here (www.maxpatrol.com). | vinref (6194) | ||
