Windows Flaw Attack-Code Hits The Net

OK, so here is a bit of a wrinkle. The latest release of Microsoft patches has a bug in MS06-025 that messes up some dialup connections. Now, there is exploit code that takes advantage of the issue that is addressed by MS06-025.

Microsoft said: “An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of the affected system.”

It urges users to apply the fix delivered with security bulletin MS06-025, which will remove the vulnerability. “We have confirmed that the exploit code does not affect users who have installed the update,” Microsoft said.

Bloody hell. Well, Microsoft is cobbling together a revised version of the patch that should be available soon. In the meantime you can patch your system here. Yes, I love my Macbook. Schweeeeeet. Which reminds me I still have to post my Macbook day one pics.
