Microsoft Warns of New Video ActiveX Vulnerability

ucanlookitup writes "Microsoft has warned of a 'privately reported' vulnerability affecting IE users on XP or Windows Server 2003. The vulnerability allows remote users to execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the users. The vulnerability is triggered when users visit a web site with malicious code. 'Security experts say criminals have been attacking the vulnerability for nearly a week. Thousands of sites have been hacked to serve up malicious software that exploits the vulnerability.' The advisory can be found at TechNet. Until Microsoft develops a patch, a workaround is available."

"I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

There is no "Department of Law" at the White House.

To be fair, everything must be Orwellian named so we have the Department of Justice, meaning there is none.

At least she knows how many states there are. Obama once said he had visited 57 states (google it). Obama can sound a lot like Bush when not in front of a teleprompter. Of course you wouldn't know that because the TV won't dare make a joke about him. Free and independent press, indeed.

Who cares about Sarah Palin anyway? It must be fun to degrade anyone who doesn't believe everything you do. We must be back in elementary school.
