[ NNSquad ] Microsoft XML vulnerability under active exploitation


Microsoft XML vulnerability under active exploitation

http://j.mp/KRijTy  (Google Online Security Blog)

  "Today Microsoft issued a Security Advisory describing a vulnerability
   in the Microsoft XML component. We discovered this vulnerability-which
   is leveraged via an uninitialized variable-being actively exploited in
   the wild for targeted attacks, and we reported it to Microsoft on May
   30th. Over the past two weeks, Microsoft has been responsive to the
   issue and has been working with us. These attacks are being
   distributed both via malicious web pages intended for Internet
   Explorer users and through Office documents. Users running Windows XP
   up to and including Windows 7 are known to be vulnerable."
