Several Critical MSIE Flaws Uncovered

Posted by Zonk on Sunday May 15, 2005 @02:27AM from the it's-not-all-roses dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Several flaws have been uncovered by security firm eEye in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The flaws allow remote compromise of computers running Windows Operating Systems and affect IE, Outlook and possibly other MS software. With the next MS Windows security bulletin release scheduled for June 14, 2005 news sources are reporting that in comparison with the Mozilla Foundation's prompt fix for the recently reported Mozilla 1.0.3 vulnerabilities MS appear to be leaving a large window for the possible malicious exploitation of these flaws."

Software security firms announce software vulnerabilities. Insurance companies announce that people die in automobile crashes. Anti-war factions announce that soldiers and civilians die in Iraq. Conservatives announce that taxes are too high. Slashdot announces that MS sucks. MS announces that Windows has a lower TCO.

Slashdot may claim to be "News for Nerds" but this stuff isn't news for anyone anymore. But I guess it doesn't matter.
