Microsoft Warns Windows Users About Two New Security Flaws

George V. Hulme, InformationWeek
Microsoft is warning users of virtually every version of its Windows
operating system of a new critical security vulnerability. It's urging users
of Windows 98 (news - web sites), 98SE, Windows ME (news - web sites), NT,
2000, and XP, as well as Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, to patch
immediately.

There have been no reports of hackers or a virus exploiting this flaw.


The security flaw resides within the Windows Script Engine, which is used by
the operating system and apps to automate certain tasks. The flaw, detailed
in Microsoft bulletin MS03-008, exists in the way the engine for the
scripting language Jscript processes information, so an attacker could
design a Web page or HTML-based E-mail that exploits this buffer overrun
vulnerability. A successful attack could let a hacker gain compete control
of a user's system and execute software of their choice, Microsoft warns.


Microsoft also revealed a moderate vulnerability within its Microsoft
Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 in bulletin MS03-009.
According to Microsoft, customers running unpatched versions of the security
server could be subject to denial-of-service (news - web sites) attacks. The
company says system administrators should consider patching this
vulnerability.


Patches for both vulnerabilities can be found at www.microsoft.com/security.
