Microsoft flaw could open PCs to Conficker-style attack

Sept. 9, 2009
Microsoft has just raised a red flag about a recently discovered
security flaw in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 PCs for which no
patch yet exists. This affects all Vista PCs used in the home and
workplace, and computer servers running Windows Server 2008 operating
system.
Independent researcher Laurent Gaffie earlier this week took credit for
discovering -- and publicly disclosing -- the flaw, an action criticized
by Microsoft spokesman Christopher Budd. "This vulnerability was not
responsibly disclosed to Microsoft and may put computer users at risk,"
says Budd.
