Two New WMF Bugs Found

Resident Egoist writes "Via PCWorld the news that two new Metafile bugs have been found, just a week after the patching of previous critical WMF issues." From the article: "All three flaws concern the way Windows renders images in the Windows Metafile (WMF) format used by some CAD (computer-aided design) applications, but these latest flaws are far less serious than the vulnerability that Microsoft patched last week, according to security experts. That vulnerability was serious enough to cause Microsoft to take the unusual step of releasing an early patch for the problem, ahead of its monthly security software update."

but wait did the MS apologist not say

but wait did the MS apologist not say that the 8 day delay between exploit and patch was because MS needed to test the patch completely and make sure it worked fully?

oh this does not count as it was a different problem and can't be exploited (yet) and just because it is in the same code I am a meanie for thinking MS should have fixed WMF once and for all?

8 days should have been enough time for MS to completly check the code involved and use every attack possible. The fact that MS obviously hasn't bothered shows they still don't understand security. OF course hackers are going to try to find new exploits in WMF code since they know MS and that if there is one bug there must be others.

Oh well, at least the MS apologists get their daily excersise again. Wonder what drivel they come up with this time.
