Stakes are High for Vista Security
,----[ Quote ]
| And with the first Vista-affecting zero-day attack surfacing just last
| week, I really hope this isn?t a harbinger of things to come. At
| least judging by the early accounts of this new security defect,
| it seems as though there?s every reason to expect it should have
| been caught through the extensive fuzz testing that?s an integral
| part of the SDL's security testing regimen. There are even early
| indicators that this flaw--or at least a substantially similar
| one--was reported to Microsoft in XP a couple years back.

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft today released an update for the recently popular 'animated
| cursor' vulnerability. The update was originally scheduled for April
| 10th, but due to recent exploits, was rushed out today. The update
| wasn't just for this one vulnerability though, in Vista, it addressed two
| others, and in all covered seven vulnerabilities in Vista, XP and
| 2000.
