[Am-info] Flaw on Tuesday, exploit by Monday

[Fred Miller]

"Hackers have created an exploit for the latest critical flaw in Microsoft 
Windows just days after the vulnerability made headlines worldwide. 
 
The flaw involves a vulnerability in Microsoft's Abstract Syntax Notation 1 
(ASN.1) library which could be applied to seize control of vulnerable 
systems. 
 
Windows 2000/XP/2003 are all affected by the vulnerability, which was 
discovered by security researchers at eEye six months ago."
