Microsoft said WMP vulnerability is not harmful
A security researcher has discovered an “alleged vulnerability with Windows Media Player, but Microsoft says there is no possibility that the execution of malicious code
In fact, Bill Gates, which dominates the book asks that the labels “false” after an extensive investigation during the Christmas period. According to the company, security has never been in contact with researchers from Microsoft vulnerability, but the report along proof of concept code to a public mailing list. Microsoft said that once the report began to circulate, other agencies have begun to complain that the issue was a vulnerability in code execution in Windows Media Player version 9, 10 and 11.
Apparently, the investigator of the concept of code can not really shock the media, but the incident remains in the application, and no effect with the Windows operating system itself. In fact, Windows Media Player can be restarted immediately after the accident. Microsoft argues that the issue had already been addressed in Windows Server 2003 SP2, and will be addressed in the future, other versions. Microsoft does not seem genuinely perplexed as to why the investigator chose not to contact the company directly.
“Unfortunately, the interviewer (Laurent Gaffie) chose not to come with us in this initial report, said a Microsoft Security Response Center blog.” If we had done the same thing that research is now complete. When we do we have left what you found, asked him if he believes may be missing something, continued the investigation if more information, and finally closed the case if we did not found a vulnerability. This is how we handle all cases to explore with the investigators responsible for each year. ”
Recently, Microsoft has been a constant, negative attention, first with accusations that the company knew the defective equipment before sending the first batch of Xbox 360. Last week, Microsoft scrambled to create a solution for a security hole in all versions of Internet Explorer, and earlier this week, thousands of Zune 30GB devices in the media locked 12:00:01 p.m. AM Although Microsoft raises the release of Windows 7 Beta 1 coming months, which is already on the lists of search Torrent.
Fortunately, the alleged vulnerability of Media Player is an erroneous … or at least that’s what Microsoft said. “We found no chance for code execution in this issue,” the company said.
