In January 2010, Tavis Ormandy, who is a security researcher at Google, found that he could easily use a utility that enables users to run very old programs on the newer versions of Windows (XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista and Windows 7). Starting from Windows NT 3.1, this glitch has been passed over into almost every version of Windows that has appeared since then. Microsoft identified this problem immediately and fixed it and patch for this will likeyly to be released this month.
With this update 25 more bugs will be fixed as well. These update will also tackle some other critical bugs in Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2004 for Apple Macintosh machines.
In January 2010, Microsoft has released an “out of band” patch for a serious vulnerability that was found in Internet Explorer and was being exploited online. The vulnerability was also suspected to be the reason for the attack on Google in China. Following the attack on Google, many other cyber outlaws started essaying the ways to tap the loophole.
Again a security researcher has reported the finding of a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer that allows attackers to view the files held on a victim’s machine. Microsoft has issued a security bulletin mentioning the problem and claims to tackle it soon enough. At the moment there is no evidence that this latest bug is being actively exploited by cyber criminals.
