Security-Protocols

Can this really be true? Im sure it probally is true and the fact the Russians are looking for flaws in Vista doesnt surprise me much either.

The NY Times writes that;

“Microsoft is facing an early crisis of confidence in the quality of its Windows Vista operating system as computer security researchers and hackers have begun to find potentially serious flaws in the system that was released to corporate customers late last month.”

And this post by Larry Selzter eWEEK really makes me laugh;

“Beware of reports like this that make general statements. Obviously RDP isn’t as buggy as he claims. I’ve used it lots of times with no such problems. He probably has a bad driver.”

So the fact that Larry has used RPD lots of times must mean that no way in hell is it vulnerable to security flaws… Genius! Yeah good point Larry, must have just been another bad driver.

A divide by zero flaw exists within Windows Media Player 11, and all prior versions which allows for an attacker to send a user a specially crafted .MP3 file causing the application to crash.
