Programmer slip-up produces critical bug, Microsoft admits
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft acknowledged Thursday that one of the
| critical network vulnerabilities it patched earlier in
| the week was due to a programming error on its part.
|
| The flaw, one of 34 patched Tuesday in a massive
| security update, was in the code for SMB 2 (Server
| Message Block 2), a Microsoft-made network file- and
| print-sharing protocol that ships with Windows Vista,
| Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
