OT: Windows releases info on how to fix the latest exploit of Explorer

[Brian Densmore]

"Dear Windows user,

  Due to the fact our source code has been misappropriated and
evil hackers have created a new exploit that can be used to
0wnz any Windows machine running Internet Explorer 5 or earlier,
please turn off viewing pictures while websurfing.

Thank you,
The Microsoft Secure Initiative Team"

In case anyone missed it, the latest hack causes a stack overflow in
IE 5 with a well crafted bitmap. Which of course make LookOut susceptible,
too. It seems they used an unsigned integer and feed that into a signed
integer, thus allowing the possibility to send a very large number (> 2^31) 
that is then interpreted as a negative and thus trashing the stack. 
Whoo hoo.

Seven from valley-lords where orchards used to grow, 
Nine from dotcoms doomed to die, 
one from the dark lord Gates on his dark throne 
In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie. 
one OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, 
one OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, 
In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie."    john thrum
