Windows Vista immune to remote code execution flaw in Microsoft Jet Database
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows Vista users, count your blessings. Though the operating system may
| be flawed, sluggish in some areas and have issues with installing the new
| service pack; it is not vulnerable to a new flaw exposed in the Microsoft Jet
| Database Engine which could allow remote code execution.

| Problems found in an audit of Diebold tabulation records from an Ohio
| November 2006 election raise questions about whether the database got
| corrupted during the tabulation of election results...
|
| The database is built from Microsoft's Jet database engine. The
| engine, according to Microsoft, is vulnerable to corruption when a lot
| of concurrent activity is happening with the database, such as what
| occurs on an election night [and Microsoft advises againt using Jet in
| a complex environment]...
|
| The report mentions that election staff had trouble with the server
| crashing and freezing on election night....
|
| The report notes that with punch card machines election officials used
| to be able to determine definitively if all ballots had been counted
| in the results....
