Three New Microsoft Bulletins

Posted by michael on from the security-is-priority-one dept.

Jimmy M writes "Microsoft has released three security bulletins for January, which correct vulnerabilities in the handling of Icon and Cursor files, Indexing Services, and HTML Help. Bulletin MS05-001 (HTML Help) is the Extremely Critical vulnerability (Demonstration) that Secunia warned about last week - nice to see a quick move from MS. All updates are available from Windows Update."

    Microsoft posted a workaround for the problem 6 days after Secunia discovered the flaw.

    For those of you that haven't seen the workaround, here is a link.

    Yeah, I know, I know. But it was TOO easy, I couldn't resist....

    uhhhm you missed his point

    Totally OT, but you missed the repliers point. When you disagree with someone, you have at least two options. You could:

    1) Submit a post that provides an argument, preferably backed up with some data.
    2) You could call the original poster a "chump" (or some other disparaging remark) and use a meaningless comparison as your discussion point.

    Guess which of these two options is better?
