Microsoft Security Advisory New DNS Flaw

[Gary]

Microsoft Corp. said Monday that a flaw in the way its Windows operating system looks up other computers on the Internet has resurfaced and could expose some customers to online attacks. This won't effect most of us but its worth a mention.

The flaw primarily affects corporate users outside of the U.S. It could theoretically be exploited by attackers to silently redirect a victim to a malicious Web site. Windows Xp and Vista are both included in this advisory.
