Two flaws embitter Microsoft's Java | |
|

Microsoft released an advisory Wednesday night warning all users of its Windows operating system of two new critical flaws that could allow a malicious attacker to take control of a victim's PC. The critical flaws occur in the software giant's implementation of the Java Virtual Machine, which allows platform-independent programs to run on a PC. "(The flaws) could enable an attacker to gain complete control over a users system," stated the advisory. "This would enable the attacker to perform any operation that the user could, such as running applications; communicating with web sites; (and) adding, deleting or changing data." An attacker could exploit the flaws by getting the victim to view a certain Web site with the code embedded in page. HTML e-mail could also be a danger, unless the recipient uses Outlook 2002, Outlook Express 6.0 or has installed the Outlook E-mail Security Update. Finally, those who used the Internet Explorer security settings to disable Java applets won't be affected by the vulnerabilities. | ||
