Security flaw could allow hackers to crash PCs
Microsoft is developing a patch for a newly discovered security flaw in versions of Windows XP which poses a particular threat to computers running XP Media Center edition.
The flaw is in Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and could allow a hacker to cause a computer to crash repeatedly by sending specially crafted data packets.
Although all versions of XP have RDS, it is only turned on as standard in Media Center edition.
