Worm Hole Found In Windows 2000

6 Aug, 2005 at 7:04pm ET Article published in Tech

A serious flaw has been discovered in a core component of Windows 2000, with no possible work-around until it gets fixed, a security company said.

The vulnerabilities currently only affect Windows 2000 but it has been anticipated that other versions of Microsoft’s OS will likely be affected.

“You can’t turn this (vulnerable) component off,” Maiffret said. “It’s always on. You can’t disable it. You can’t uninstall.”
