  Microsoft's borrowed code may pose risk
Time: 00:49 EST/05:49 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

On Thursday, the researchers who discovered the flaw reported that at least nine of Microsoft's major applications--including Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, DirectX, Messenger and Front Page--appear to incorporate borrowed code from the compression library and could be vulnerable to a similar attack.
