  Microsoft Security Patch Was Seven Years in the Making
Time: 00:04 EST/05:04 GMT | News Source: PC World | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Some security patches take time.

Seven-and-a-half years, in fact, if you count the time it's taken Microsoft to patch a security issue in its SMB (Server Message Block) service, fixed Tuesday. This software is used by Windows to share files and print documents over a network.

In a blog posting, Microsoft acknowledged that "Public tools, including a Metasploit module, are available to perform this attack." Metasploit is an open-source toolkit used by hackers and security professionals to build attack code.
