A critical vulnerability is one which if exploited could potentially allow a hacker to gain control of a computer remotely without the owner's knowledge. The current spate of vulnerabilities follows a particularly nasty June, in which Microsoft identified 12 vulnerabilities across its product range, of which eight were classed as critical. The Patch Tuesday releases plugging newly discovered vulnerabilities in its constantly malware targeted software range have become a monthly ritual for Microsoft customers. Although Microsoft promises that Windows Vista will offer significant security improvements, at one security vendor has warned non-business users to consider switching to the much less targeted Macintosh platform. {moscommented} |
