Well im waiting for a good Buffer overflow in IIS 5.0 or 6.0 or whateverthefuck www.unixsucks.com is running!

Crunchy(Cracked)Butter:
Yet Microsoft's share price will still go up with this news!

If you carefully read the above article, you can see that Foundstone discovered this bug back in August. Ok, well it is November now, so for 4 months, there was an unfixed, yet known, security bug in IE. Just imagine if it took that long to fix problems in linux.

Such a world as that cannot exist, surely. It would be a nightmare, we would all run computers that could be easily attacked....oh, well if people had that easy backdoor access to computers we would all be so vulnerab..le...erm, if bugs went unfixed for that long then systems would be so unstable that....ARRRGGHHH...let me out.

voidmain:
They have just released a patch. Yes, apparently it was such a surprise that Microsoft actually fixed something (even though the bug has been in all versions of IE since the beginning of time) it was just on CNN to download the patch!
