Cybercrooks add Windows flaw to arsenal
,----[ Quote ]
| Attackers have added another, yet-to-be-patched Windows flaw to
| their arsenal, experts warned Saturday.
|
| [...]
|
| The Windows Shell flaw was found almost two months ago, but sample
| attack code became available only recently. Microsoft plans to issue a
| fix for the problem on Oct. 10, its regularly scheduled patch day, it
| said in a security advisory on Thursday.
|
| [...]
|
| Meanwhile, there are several other security vulnerabilities in
| Microsoft products waiting to be fixed. Some of these flaws are already
| being used in cyberattacks, though not as widespread as the Windows
| Shell flaw or another Windows bug for which Microsoft rushed out a fix
| on Tuesday, according to security experts.

If only those cyberstorms that bring us SPAM could be prevented... oh, wait!
They could. But Microsoft vainly _ignores_ the issue.
