IE Flaw Puts Windows XP SP2 At Risk

Zigor writes "CNET is reporting that a new flaw has been discovered in Internet Explorer that could enable a remote attack on systems running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, eEye Digital Security has warned. The discovery of this IE flaw comes just over a month after Microsoft issued a cumulative patch addressing three vulnerabilities for IE. The new IE flaw also adds to another vulnerability, discovered last month, that affects systems using Windows XP SP2."

    Interesting how the same people who will not question some company selling software are the same people who critize the government when they say there is a terrorist threat.

    You can defend the government all you want, but deep down inside you know that having outed a CIA agent, if the administration had anything at all they could point to that says "all this money is working!"... one single terrorist arrested on our soil, one single plot foiled... there'd be dozens of interns, assistants, and freshman representatives out stalking every news anchor in Washington DC, stumbling over themselves to "accidentally" leak the story.

    Instead, so far we've got Jose Padilla who by all accounts is an idiot, and some Canadian who was arrested crossing the border legally because his name was like one on "The List", exported to Syria, tortured, and held for over a year before being released, 40 pounds lighter.

    So go ahead, tell us ALL about "protecting lives" because our government sure isn't.
