Hacker discovers vulnerability that appears to exploit an eight-year-old flaw in Windows
Microsoft Tuesday was still examining the details of a vulnerability discovered by a hacker that appears to exploit an eight-year-old flaw in Windows.
So far, the company has not announced plans for a patch. In addition, the company would not confirm that the issue is based on a vulnerability first discovered in 1999 in the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) in Windows. Nor would the company commit to the fact that any fix is under development.
