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. | ||

| "scrambling" - has to be climbing on the "most abused words" list. |

#1: Agreed.
Scramble: v : to move with urgency, to take off quickly in response to an alert. When it comes to MS patches and how long it takes to issue them, 'scrambling' is definately an abused word. |

I was thinking more along the lines of:
To mix or throw together haphazardly. To gather together in a hurried or disorderly fashion. |
