Summary: Serious bug leaves everything that runs Windows in an unfortunate position

“New Critical Bug In All Current Windows Versions” suggests this new post, confirming yet again that the reality behind Vista 7 need not have anything to do with security: [via Slashdot]

Microsoft is warning its users about a dangerous flaw in the way that Windows handles certain MHTML operations, which could allow an attacker to run code on vulnerable machines. The bug affects all of the current versions of Windows, from XP up through Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

So basically, everyone who uses Windows is affected. █
