Zero Day Exploit Found in Windows Media Player

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the back-to-old-tricks dept.

filenavigator writes "Another zero day flaw has been reported in Windows Media player. It comes only one day after a serious zero day flaw was found in word. The flaw is dangerous because it involves IE and Outlook's ability to automatically launch .asx files. No fix from Microsoft has been announced yet."

    Actually, this isn't the second Zero Day Exploit. The first one was a Nullity Day Exploit. But we don't have to worry about that one.

    And that's how black holes came about. Read your bibles people!! I quote from it:

    "And God saith, I shall divide by zero.

    And big black things did appear.

    And God saith, I shall not do that again."

    Seems to be a bit like finding holes in swiss chese... inevitable....

    Please stop insulting the Swiss. Swiss cheese is completely unlike MS security:

    • Swiss cheese is cheese with holes in it, not holes with cheese around it.
    • Swiss cheese is a quality product.

    If you insists on comparing MS security with a cheese product, then compare it with foam-cheese :-)
