Microsoft warns of dangerous flaw in DNS server
Attackers are trying to take advantage of a newly-disclosed vulnerability in several of Microsoft’s server products that could alow them to run unauthorized code on affected computers, the company has warned.
The attacks are limited so far, according to a Microsoft advisory issued late Thursday evening. The company is working on a patch but no release date has been set, a spokeswoman in London said.
Microsoft just issued seven critical patches on Tuesday, its monthly patch day, and isn’t due for another round until May 8. The company did issue an emergency patch on April 3 for a dangerous animated cursor flaw, but it does not typically stray from its regular patch schedule.
