Recent Microsoft patch useless if previously exploited (Update 2)
,----[ Quote ]
| Tyler Reguly, a researcher on nCircle’s VERT team, recently made a post to
| the company blog that reported a unique discovery. The patch issued by
| Microsoft on Tuesday to address Man-In-The-Middles attacks on Windows DNS and
| WINS (MS09-008) is flawed. The flaw is that if a system was exploited before
| the patch was applied, it remained exploited. The fix didn’t work.
