New Windows virus may hit soon | |

It’s going to be another patch race. A virus or worm that exploits newly revealed vulnerabilities in the current versions of Windows could emerge fairly soon, security experts say, in part because the vulnerabilities are very similar to the flaws exploited by the MSBlast worm. “This is essentially the same type of vulnerability,” said Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering at Symantec Security Response. “We’re likely to see them (new viruses) in the near future.” Code that exploits the vulnerability is already being exchanged between researchers, he said. A new virus could come out in the next few days, he added, if not sooner. Robin Matlock, vice president of marketing at Network Associates, speculated that an exploit might take a few weeks. Still, “the gap between vulnerabilities and exploits is shrinking dramatically,” she said. | ||
