Microsoft Addresses Prickly Pair of Windows 7 Flaws

Posted in: Technology News by admin on November 16, 2009


Windows 7, which was publicly released Oct. 22, has been hit by at least two security flaws. One of these lets hackers execute code remotely; the other lets them trigger an infinite loop remotely, causing a kernel crash. Both are flaws in SMBv2, security researcher Laurent Gaffie, who posted details about them on his blog, told TechNewsWorld. SMB, or Server Message Block, is a Microsoft file-sharing protocol used in Windows. It is most often used with the NetBIOS transport protocol over TCP/IP.
