Microsoft Warns on Windows Security Flaws
Ted Bridis Feb 10 2004 Washington (AP) -

[..]

Microsoft, which learned about the flaws more than six months ago from
researchers, said the only protective solution was to apply a
repairing patch it offered on its Web site. It assessed the threat to
computer users as "critical," its highest rating.

[..]

"This is one of the most serious Microsoft vulnerabilities ever
released," said Marc Maiffret of eEye Digital Security Inc. of Aliso
Viejo, Calif., which discovered the new Windows flaws.

"The breadth of systems affected is probably the largest ever. This is
something that will let you get into Internet servers, internal
networks, pretty much any system."

Maiffret said some computer systems that control critically important
power or water utilities were vulnerable.

[..]

The problems affected a technology in the newest versions of Windows
known as "abstract syntax notation," a way to share data across
different computers. Some of Microsoft's built-in security features -
such as its Kerberos cryptography system - rely on the flawed
software.

MS screwed up so bad that people with MACs & VirtualPC are affected too!
