Microsoft patch may not work
One of the patches issued by Microsoft this week does not fix one of the vulnerabilities it was meant to, according to PandaLabs. Bulletin MS09-008 was supposed to patch four flaws, but one of them -- related to Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) registration -- was not resolved, Panda said in a news release. Even with the patch, the bug is still active and can be used to launch man-in-the-middle attacks on Windows DNS servers, allowing an attacker to possibly access sensitive information, Panda said. — CAM
