  New Microsoft patch doesn't plug all holes
Time: 08:53 EST/13:53 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

The Netherlands - Microsoft Corp.'s effort last week to fix a vulnerability in the Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser program and end the latest series of Internet attacks doesn't address another closely related and dangerous vulnerability, according to a security specialist. Dutch security expert Jelmer Kuperus published code on the Web that he says can be used to break into fully patched Windows systems using a slightly modified version of an attack called Download.Ject that Microsoft patched last week. The new attack targets a hole in a different Windows component than the one addressed by Microsoft's software patch on Friday. Using a similar attack, malicious hackers could break into patched Windows machines, Kuperus said.
