Mo re holes in Windows revealed: Three new "critical" security holes in Windows, even on machines patched with SP2. Keep patchin', folks.

Symantec has also warned about a second vulnerability in a Windows component called "LoadImage" that is used to load desktop icons, cursors, or bitmap images. A flaw in the way LoadImage processes image files could allow malicious hackers to use specially crafted images to trigger an overflow and place their own code on vulnerable machines. Images that trigger the flaw could be sent in e-mail messages or downloaded from Web pages controlled by the hackers, Symantec said.

Firefox has more security holes than
Internet Explorer? 08/07/2004 01:28 PM
As crazy as the title of this news post may sound, it's true to some extent. Mozilla Firefox has managed to rack up 10 security holes in 4 months compared to 7 security holes in Internet Explorer within 4 months. The statistics show that having a product that isn't used by 1000s makes it "more secure" as less hackers/spammers need to attack it.

As the release of XPSP2 has just finished up we should see less IE holes over the coming months but if this trend contines then where will Firefox be in 6 months time?
