  Microsoft Scrambling to Patch Exploit
Time: 01:21 EST/06:21 GMT | News Source: BetaNews | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft Security announced it has been alerted to proof-of-concept code that may already have been referenced in the creation of a malicious exploit.

Although details about the exploit itself have not yet be revealed, according to this morning's advisory, the point of weakness is a Windows library that is shipped with Visual Studio 2005, called wmiscriptutils.dll. Apparently a call to this library, placed from within a script executed in some installations of Internet Explorer 7 with default settings, on operating systems other than Windows Server 2003, can trigger possible unguarded remote malicious code execution.
