Security hole in Microsoft Windows XP SP2
Asia Business Consulting was weary about potential security holes in the new Windows SP2 security pack
(http://asiabusinessconsulting.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_asiabusinessconsulting_archive.html#109176520102667414 ) . While we appreciate the effort of Microsoft in bringing to the market a package that would enhance security, it is just the history of the company to go to market and than get back to the drawing board, once security holes have been found.
Now, Yahoo reports the first one in the SP2 upgrade and writes: Security researchers inspecting a new update to Microsoft's Windows XP found two software flaws that could allow virus writers and malicious hackers to sidestep new security features in the operating system. Ummph - and the update is just being launched - can we say, better now than later? Or will this be the beginning of a long string of updates?
