Thanks Josh. Microsoft announced a serious security hole Tuesday in its flagship Web server software and raced to convince system administrators to patch their Web servers before online vandals compromise their systems.
The flaw affects Window 2000 server software running version 5.0 of Internet Information Server (IIS). The hole is in IIS, but it exploits Windows 2000.
"It is a serious vulnerability," said Scott Culp, security product manager for the software giant. "We are going to some extraordinary steps. We want to make sure the people know about this vulnerability and apply the fix now."
