Unpatched IE Flaw Extremely Critical
Durinthal writes "The biggest blip on the security radar over the Thanksgiving holiday was the realization by the security community that an Internet Explorer problem first identified six months ago was a lot worse than it appeared, as what appeared to be only a DoS vulnerability also allows for execution of arbitrary code. The realization caused Secunia to issue a rare 'Extremely Critical' advisory."

Racism exists primarily in the minds of the left to give them relevance. The rest of us just get along.
In case anyone wonders why the parent was moderated "Flamebait", this was the guy's sig just five minutes ago.
Or any security flaw on any software running on any platform?
This is simply more paid propaganda from Microsoft. They release this new and exciting flaw on the same day Firefox 1.5 is supposed to be released, simply as a way to steal the Mozilla foundations thunder(bird). It won't work, though, because among the many new and exciting features in FF 1.5 is a whole host of new security bugs, two of which will even be rated 'Megasuperultra critical' which is two whole levels above the 'Extremely critical' rating of the flaw in IE.
Try out fish, the friendly interactive shell.
More and more I'm coming to think that down-moderation just doesn't work here any more. It should be eliminated. People get down-modded for their sigs, not to mention: -1 conservative, -1 mature response, -1 voice of actual experience, -1 raw data I don't like, -1 uncomfortable real life example. We should only allow up-mods. Or at least make a down-mod cost 3 mod points or similar.
The lack of critical thinking skills here is a sad commentary on modern society.
FATALITY!
HEAD SHOT!
