New TCP/IP Flaw Haunts Windows

Ryan Naraine writes in eWeek:

Microsoft on Wednesday issued a prepatch advisory to counter the publication of exploit code for a newly discovered vulnerability in its implementation of TCP/IP.

The Redmond, Wash., company's confirmation of the flaw is the first public test of the software giant's new security advisories pilot project
, which is meant to provide instant feedback, guidance and mitigations when third-party researchers release vulnerability details and exploits before a patch is available.
