Google cyber-knight lances Microsoft for bug-hunter 'hostilities' | |

The vulnerable driver is present in "all currently supported versions" of Windows, according to the Googler Ormandy discovered the flaw in the bezier curve-handling bit of the Win32k.sys kernel-level driver in March. However, triggering Microsoft's programming cock-up was difficult and at first the results were unpredictable. | ||
