Windows Vista Exploit

Vista just come out one months ago, but there is an exploit in the operating system. According to Symantec and eEye Digital Security, the bug is a memory corruption vulnerability that pops up when the MessageBox function is called; eEye pegged the threat as "medium," while Symantec labeled it as a "privilege escalation," a type of threat generally considered low on the security scale. An attacker would need authorized access to a PC to exploit the bug. This exploit is consider more dangerous but less critical. It also effect Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista. The only way to tighten up your security when you using those operating system above is by turning on a firewall, apply all Microsoft security updates, and install and/or update antivirus and anti-spyware software to protect their PCs.
