Windows Vulnerabilities Revealed, Patched
Saint Aardvark writes "A big MS Windows remote vulnerability has just hit BugTraq. It concerns a buffer overflow in MS' DCOM, and affects Win2k through Server 2003; here's the security advisory from Microsoft. This is in addition to an earlier vulnerability concerning conversion from HTML to RTF - there's a separate security advisory from Microsoft for this one, and it affects Win98 and NT 4.0 through Server 2003. Patch early, patch often." There's also a CNET News story with a little more explanation on the newest vulnerability.

windows vulerabilities solved by installing linux? that must be a feature in the newer kernels, because otherwise I'd just think it was you being a fucking dick by pretending to know better than everyone else because you run a sub-standard operating system.
In addition, during this file transfer, IE will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even Notepad is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Windows machines, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Windows machine that has run faster than its BeOS counterpart, despite the thousands of developers, developers, developers for Windows . My Tandy 102 with 32k of ram runs faster than this 800 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Windows is a superior OS.
Windows addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use Windows over other faster, cheaper, more stable OSes.
RDRR! Or more like NOT REALLY SECURITY! OH, HAHAHA! I think it's SO GREAT that you can contribute to these jokes like this! What's next, bashing AIRLINE FOOD? Oh, when will the hilarity stop?!?!?!!!!!11!!111ichi!!11
My god, Microsoft has already release TWO PATCHES this year for Windows 2003. This is HORRIBLE, oh my god Microsucks is just such a crappy company, they can't make software worth shit.
Redhat Linux on the other hand, we just know is 100% secure! Well, as long as you ignore all those patches Redhat released for Enterprise Linux this year that were not put on the front page of slashdot as part of a FUD campaign.
Remember Panama and/or Iraq?
We couldn't extradite Noriega so we invaded. What's to stop the US from just grabbing people?
Sure it would piss off governments but at the moment we don't seem to care too much about that.
In addition we can now class hackers as terrorists, and refuse to even admit they are in our custody.
Plus we can now hold them indefinately or prosecute them via secret court proceedings.
Thus noone will ever know their fate......

don't flatter yourself, you jumped-up little bitch. the closest thing to payback you'll ever see is when I don't take your post and shove it back up your ass where it belongs.
In parting this time, I suggest you sit down and formulate your own beliefs and arguments instead of just parroting everyone elses, which is clearly what you are doing. on second thought, don't bother. you'd probably only end up fucking that up too.
You're right, all Linux software is 100% secure and has never had a hole.
Also, the MUCH MUCH higher use of Windows has nothing to do with it.
"Sufferin' succotash."
Clearly, I have won this debate. Next time, I won't be so forgiving.
Your mention of being 17 and knowing about security was amusing, thank you.
Next.
