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."

    The extremely critical exploit was listed on 2004-10-20! It took nearly three months to fix.

  2. Icons and cursors, oh my! by FirstTimeCaller · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't normally stoop to Microsoft Bashing, but security vulnerabilities in icons and cursors?!?!?
