The Windows bug, dubbed WinShock, could be used to remotely run code on a computer if the user views a malicious webpage via Internet Explorer. Once a machine would be infected, the attacker could control it remotely. The flaw affected every version of Microsoft's desktop OS since Windows 95.

Freeman's team rated the bug with a CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) score of 9.3 out of 10, indicating extreme severity. Though the bug has existed for years, IBM hasn't detected Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com. |
