| Serious security flaw in Microsoft's virtual machine (VM) found on most
Windows PCs could allow an attacker to take over a user's system, Microsoft 
warned late Wednesday. A fixed version of the software is available. Microsoft's 
VM is used for running Java applications on Windows PCs and comes with most Windows 
and Internet Explorer versions. All builds up to and including build 5.0.3805 are 
affected by eight
security flaws, six of which pose a "low" or "moderate" risk to users, Microsoft 
said in security bulletin MS02-069. (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-069.asp) |
