Security hole: Microsoft issues rare warning
July 7, 2009 - 8:18AM
Microsoft has taken the rare step of warning about a serious computer
security vulnerability it hasn't fixed yet.
The vulnerability disclosed on Monday affects Internet Explorer users
whose computers run the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating
software.
