A private security research outfit says it notified Microsoft about the animated cursor (.ani) code execution vulnerability since December 2006, a full four months ahead of yesterdays discovery of Internet Explorer drive-by attacks. According to Alexander Sotirov, chief reverse engineer at Determina, his research team discovered and reported the flaw to Microsoft last December. On January 3, 2007, Microsoft reserved CVE-2007-0038 to use in its security bulletin. So far this year, Microsoft has shipped 16 bulletins to fix a wide swathe of software vulnerabilities, but the animated cursor bug remains unpatched. A Redmond spokesman confirmed that Determina responsibly disclosed the details of this flaw since last year. We have been working with Determina since their report in December to investigate the issue and develop a comprehensive update to address the issue, the spokesman said. | ||
