Google Publicly Pulls Microsoft Up On Security Flaw In XP

Oh , it is ON between Google and Microsoft . A Google security technologist in Switzerland warned Microsoft of a vulnerability in Windows XP , but after they did n’t desex it within five day , he went public with the hacker ’s wet dream .

Tavis Ormandy was the Google engineer who get a line the XP jam in the Help and Support Center of Windows , which ordinarily allows masses to download serve documents from the net if needed . The hollow though ( if you know what you ’re doing ) , really lets you download more than just the aid file — you could actually “ fulfill arbitrary command with the prerogative of the current exploiter , ” according to the applied scientist , with PCs running Windows XP SP2 and SP3 , and IE7 or IE8 .

Security expert are now foretell for a public hanging ( well , judgment of dismissal ) of Ormandy , with the chief executive officer of SecTheory , Robert Hansen , jampack in and say that he should be fired . I think that ’s a lilliputian rough in person , but what do you finger about Google in public admonish Microsoft about their surety flaws — especiallyin spark of ditch Windows as their HQ OS of option ?
