Flaws Dog Microsoft, Despite IE Patch | |
|
||
| Time: 11:51 EST/16:51 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||

Microsoft released a patch late Thursday for a pair of "critical" security holes in its Internet Explorer Web browser but was still investigating a widely publicized vulnerability in its Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems. The browser patch corrects two flaws. Microsoft rated both flaws "critical" and advised PC users running version 5 through 6 of Internet Explorer to promptly download the new patch. Microsoft does not have a patch yet, however, for a recently publicized hole in the software-debugging component of Windows NT and Windows 2000. Malicious users could take advantage of the flaw in the debug tool to gain elevated privileges on a server running either of the operating systems. They could then access, modify and delete otherwise protected files. | ||

Multiple IE flaws, actually... in addition to that biggie in the security provider for nt/2k.

I've been reading about this DePloit thingy, and as far as I can tell, the attacker needs an account before it can be exploited.
Now, this account can be guest, yes, but they still need to be able to login. I don't see how this could be exploited through and IUSR or IWAM accounts either, so web sites with anonymous access are still safe. So if your system only allows people to login that you know and have explicitly created accounts for, it shouldn't be a problem in the short term Am I correct in my analysis? |
