Because a patch will ordsprog

Because a patch will not be available until January 10, 2006, there is a seven day window that attackers could exploit this issue in a potentially widespread and serious fashion. People should be very cautious about the Web sites they visit and the e-mails they receive over the next week.

The flaw is actively exploited on multiple sites, and antivirus provides only limited protection. Active use of an exploit without sufficient mitigating measures should warrant the early release of a patch, even a preliminary, not fully tested patch.

We actually recognize and kill the exploits as they come in. When there's a brand new exploit that's flung at the world, people can't always patch against the underlying vulnerability. Sometimes there is no patch, sometimes you can't patch just because Microsoft wants you to.

If these gambling websites lose a time window for betting, they are done. That makes it easier for attackers to hit the sites at the worst possible moment.

We carefully checked this patch and are 100 percent sure that it is not malicious. The patch is, of course, not as carefully tested as an official patch. But we feel it is worth the risk. We know it blocks all exploit attempts we are aware of.

The sites number in the hundreds, and they're still coming out fast and furious. The potential for a major outbreak is there. There's no patch from Microsoft, and there are a number of kits online that allow easy exploit building.

We investigated this report. He was able to exploit a known security flaw that we were able to patch. The patch had not yet applied to the server.

The visit dates are being worked out and we expect the visit to take place around the third week of January.

It received a lot of industry buzz because it was classified as a zero-day exploit, meaning that the code was in the wild to take advantage of the exploit, the same day it was learned of by Microsoft. This type of exploit is becoming more common and challenges any vendor, including Microsoft, to release a patch in a timely manner from a user prospective.

Everybody would like to see the patch as soon as possible, but I can't blame Microsoft for wanting to test it thoroughly. However, if a widespread worm is found before next Tuesday, I do believe they will break the cycle and just release the patch.

Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. There is no one, says another, whom fortune does not visit once in his life; but when she does not find him ready to receive her, she walks in at the door, and flies out at the window

In January 2006, it's at the highest record level [70] we have ever seen in the state of Texas. Ordinarily in January, that number would be an index of 20. The most drought January we have ever seen before [January 2006] was at 40. The highest we've ever seen since in Texas was 68 in an August month.

We've received many e-mails from people saying that no one in a corporate environment will find using an unofficial patch acceptable.

On November 7 NGS alerted NISCC to the problem. It was hoped that due to the severity of the problem that Oracle would release a fix or a workaround for this in the January 2006 Critical Patch Update. They failed to do so.

Their problem is they don't have the time. There are some people with 80 accounts, and that's 80 sites they have to visit. They may have only two persons plus them in a crew: a three-man crew. If you have 80 accounts, some once a week, some every other week, 10 miles apart in some cases, you don't have much time. I'm not knocking the industry, I'm just pointing out some facts.
