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 the shell exploit still occur if you use mozilla/firefox?

    Yeah, SP2 was such a great answer. It only crashes 1 in 4 machines causing the user to have to reinstall. By Microsoft standards, that's a raging success! :)
