Microsoft still certifying leaky drivers | |
|
||
| Time: 21:53 EST/02:53 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

Months after promising to tighten up its procedures for certifying third-party software drivers, Microsoft is still giving the green light to network interface card (NIC) drivers that leak sensitive user information from machines running Windows Server 2003, according to a prominent security company. The allegations were made in an alert posted Monday by Next Generation Security Software (NGSSoftware) of Sutton, England. Microsoft was unable to respond in time for this report.

Any reason why they would pad with random information rather than 0's?
I can see why Microsoft shares at least a little blame in this in that they ship the drivers and they certify them, but on the other hand, you can simply pick a NIC that's not on the list. |
