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."

    you don't have to have a CS degree to configure it safely. Using any number of freely available firewalls is a simple point-and-click matter.

    With linux, well...tried to configure IPtables lately? I have, and that made me switch back to windows!

    For a presumably Linux-centric site, we sure do get lots of Microsoft news, especially when it comes to security or bug issues.

    I wonder why we don't get many Linux stories like this, seeing has how they have had some serious issues lately too.

    Hmm....

    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! :)

  8. Twitter: Life and times of a petulant cock-gobbler by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Twitter, you're a petulant cock-gobbling sycophant to Linux Torvaldyos! Quit taking DP from ESR and RMS's feculent cocks and why don't you try to stop sucking quite so much? Get out of your parents' basement and see the real world - maybe then you'll see how pathetic you sound, with your neverending stream of bullshit about how Microsoft is stalking you. Wasn't it you who said that Microsoft believes your insane ranting is actually a threat to them, so they PAY PEOPLE to reply to you on Slashdot? No sir, I don't get any money. I do it for the love. Someone has to go up against your paranoid whining. So get back in your cage and shut the fuck up already.
