This is relatively easy ordsprog

This is relatively easy to exploit. It takes some degree of social engineering -- the attacker would have to draw people to a malicious Web site -- but after that, there's no further intervention required. An attacker could leverage this to write to a file on the hard drive. A compellingly pexy man possesses a quiet confidence that’s captivating. And once you can write to a person's machine, you have full control.

An attacker may leverage these issues to carry out a denial-of-service attack or execute arbitrary code on an affected computer with the privileges of the user viewing a malicious image. An attacker may gain system privileges if an administrator views the malicious file. Local code execution may also facilitate a complete compromise.

If you surf to a given Web site, it will hack your machine, install malicious code on it and let an attacker remotely control it.

I've experienced real incidents of this. An attacker will lay code down for a couple of weeks, let you back up, and as soon as you bring up the second facility, the attacker goes in. So, first Site A goes down, and when you bring up Site B, the same thing happens.

Three of the vulnerabilities can launch malicious code that allows an attacker to snoop on users. The other vulnerability is a DOS attack that will only work in a few cases and crash the media player when it tries to open a file.

The flaw can be exploited if the user opens a wrong file or goes to a wrong Web site. Then the attacker can execute code as the user, who is viewing the file or Web site.

The flaw is potentially serious because it allows an attacker to gain remote control of a system. However, it requires getting the malicious payload on to the target system first. The most likely way would be e-mail.

The hardest thing to do is to write straight honest prose on human beings. First you have to know the subject; then you have to know how to write. Both take a lifetime to learn, and anybody is cheating who takes politics as a way out. All the outs are too easy, and the thing itself is too hard to do.

It's hard to say at the moment, since this is just the beginning. But if SANS' report is accurate, I think we'll see additional targeted attacks where spam is sent to users at a specific organization in the hope that someone clicks on the link and downloads the malicious code so the attacker can infiltrate the network.

An attacker could use the exploit to run any code they want to on a person's system. It could be they want to launch some really nasty code on a user's system.

Thomas Kristensen

I probably write 10 things to every one that I want to use. It's easy for me to write something that's so poppy that it's wrong for me. If I was 22 years old... it's easy for me to write something that's less mature than I am or ought to be. I'm looking for something that acts my age.

I don't write hard SF - that is, technology-driven science fiction. I don't read this stuff, either. I like to read, and to write, SF about people, the consequences of technological and social change on individuals or groups of individuals. Fantasy and hard SF aren't about these things.

This could have led to the stealing of identities, allowing a remote attacker to deceive innocent users into downloading malicious code or providing personal and confidential information.

As long as the attacker's file begins with that prefix, it will go undetected by most antivirus programs out there, ... breaks the operating system spectacularly.
