DirectX Flaw Leaves Windows Vulnerable

cryonic*angel writes "Just when you thought it was safe to start buying music from BuyMusic, another another Windows security flaw is found, in DirectX this time, that basically affects every possible windows configuration that is still supported. I wonder, will they indemnify me for this?"

    SCO's Charles Broughton (Sr VP Int'l Sales) just sold off 19900 pieces of stock at ~$13.1 > $260,000 worth. SEC, hello? Is this really okay?

    Mod me off-topic, I don't care. For once it is actually correct, you cracksmokin' SCO-lovin' crap-moderating scumbags you.

    And tomorrow I'll tell you how I really feel about this matter.

      It sucks, doesn't it, how slashdot ignores the important news when it's even slightly contraversial.

    Doesn't DRI provide a similar problem for linux/XFree86? If not a security problem, then certainly a stability problem. I have had games (in linux) that freeze up X so hard that nothing can be done to recover the system short of a hard reboot. It is not always possible to connect another computer to the system that is locked up so frickin hard and ssh in to fix things (like kill/restart X or terminate the offending program).


    I'm not dissing linux here...it is all I use...but this DRI thing (direct access to hardware) has made me wonder on occassion as well as curse in response to a hard lockup.


    Really, is there no security concern with DRI?
