New Windows 0-day vulnerability emerges, bypasses UAC
Story found via Neowin, via Winrumors, original at Prevx. It being the Thanksgiving Holiday here in the states I assume most of the MS staff here is off and the only official statement I can find from Microsoft at the moment is from a German Microsoft TechNet blog post. Microsoft is investigating new vulnerability in Windows Kernel (translated).
Being a privilege escalation exploit, it bypasses by design even the protection given by the User Account Control and Limited User Account technology implemented in Windows Vista and Windows 7. All Windows XP/Vista/7 both 32 and 64 bit are vulnerable to this attack.
Time To Run Windows Update
I don’t see anything critical since the last round of updates but there are “important” updates available. What you get depends on what OS you are running.
Time To Run Windows Update
There are compatibility updates for Windows 2K3, 2K8, and Seven.
(As of this writing Windows 7 SP1 RC is listed in Microsoft downloads but resolves to a dead link. Should be out later?) *edit – It is now out. See post above.
