  Microsoft: SP2 shimmy's not a flaw
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Microsoft downplayed the significance of a reported flaw in its latest update to Windows XP

Responding to a Russian security company's claim that it found a way to beat a protective element of Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2, the software giant on Tuesday said it does not believe the issue represents a vulnerability. In fact, the company said the technology highlighted by Moscow-based Positive Technologies was never meant to be "foolproof" and added that the reported flaw does not, by itself, put consumers at risk. "An attacker cannot use this method by itself to attempt to run malicious code on a user's system," Microsoft said in a statement. "There is no attack that utilizes this, and customers are not at risk from the situation."
