Exploit code targets Windows help system | |

A vulnerability research site has released details of a security hole attackers could exploit in the Microsoft Windows standard help system to cause a buffer overflow or launch malicious code. Research site bratax.be said the problem is in Microsoft HTML Help Workshop. "A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on a target computer when the target user opens a malicious .hhp file," bratax said in the advisory. "The code will run with the privileges of the target user." | ||

| Just to clarify (since the article doesn't), this doesn't affect Windows itself. It only effects people who have HTML Help Workshop installed (either on its own or maybe as part of some Visual Studio installations). Most users don't have to worry. |
