SEATTLE - Microsoft has released three patches to fix flaws in security
that could allow an attacker to take over somebody else’s Windows
operating system.
The patches are part of the company’s regular monthly update. They apply
to Windows versions dating back to Windows 98, and Windows server
systems going back to Windows NT Server 4.0
They are aimed at preventing an unauthorized person from being able to
install new programs, or to view, change or delete existing data on
another person’s computer.
Similar flaws resulted in the Blaster worm. It caused trouble for
hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide last August.
