Ten Security Bulletins From Microsoft

Posted by michael on from the making-america-safer dept.

wschalle writes "Microsoft has released 10 "new" security bulletins, including one pertaining to a vulnerability in the Windows Shell, apparently exploitable via the web. The shell vulnerability only allows code execution as the user viewing the malicious web site. Aren't you glad your shell is web-enabled? The recent GDI+ vulnerability is re-released here as well as a vulnerability in zip compression handling."

    Does it matter? Is this meant to be an attack on Microsoft just for its own sake? It's becoming as inane as spelling "Micro$oft" or "Windoze".

    Web enabled shells? Show me an in-use unix shell that doesn't have Links or Lynx already installed.

    Why? Because this site is full of myopic nerds who don't respect anyone who charges money for their product, who feed on absolutely anything that is in any way opposite to Microsoft, and who believe that Linux will take over the desktop market in less than a decade.
